Many Green Bay Packer fans have felt an angst about the lack of a “wide receiver one” in the Jordan Love Era. Few, however, have noticed that a “tight end one” emerged. Tucker Kraft announced his presence as a legitimate, do-it-all tight end with authority in Thursday night’s win over the Washington Commanders, 27-18.
“He’s a guy that approaches the game the right way,” coach Matt Lafleur said via packers.com, citing Kraft’s growth. “It’s not only on the football field, it’s in every facet of life. He’s a real leader for us.”
Kraft ignited the Packer offense with a 57-yard catch and run which set up the team’s first end zone visit, and effectively sealed the victory by catching Green Bay’s final touchdown of the game.
