It wasn’t supposed to be him.
Tucker Kraft was drafted in the third round of 2023, but Luke Musgrave was supposed to be the guy. The Packers drafted him in the second round of the same year, and he was projected to be the athletic, dynamic and special tight end that Tuck has turned out to be.
The stage is yours now Tucker. He is second on the team in targets with 41, behind Romeo Doubs’ 42. He leads the team in receiving yardage by 119 and also leads the team in receiving touchdowns with six.
Coming into Sunday’s game with Carolina, Kraft is second among all eligible tight ends with 15.
