As was expected going into the draft, South Dakota State tight end Tucker Kraft heard his name called on Friday evening. The Packers gave Kraft the call, making him the third FCS player taken in this year’s draft.
Kraft helped the Jackrabbits reach the FCS national championship twice and was instrumental in the team winning its first ever last fall. He finished his college career with 1,211 receiving yards and nine touchdowns, efforts that earned him multiple All-Conference and All-American Honors.
