Forgotten Packers Weapon Draws Strong Praise from Matt LaFleur

The 2024 Green Bay Packers season saw Tucker Kraft's ascendence to Green Bay's number-one tight end role. Last year, he recorded 50 catches for 707 yards and seven touchdowns. Moreover, he became the first Packers tight end to record 300+ receiving yards after the catch since Jermichael Finley in 2009.

With Luke Musgrave missing significant time, Kraft stepped up and became a reliable target for Jordan Love. Among tight ends with at least 30 targets in 2024, Kraft ranked third in yards per catch and tied for third in receiving touchdowns. He was one of the most consistent contributors on the offense and should be a candidate for an early contract extension next year.
