The Green Bay Packers made a strategic move in the 2023 NFL draft, selecting South Dakota State tight end Tucker Kraft with the 78th overall pick. This move was made to provide quarterback Jordan Love with more offensive weapons and to bolster the team’s tight end position.
Kraft, standing at 6-foot-4 and weighing 254 pounds, has an impressive college career under his belt. With 99 catches for 1,211 yards and nine touchdowns in 32 games, he is a strong addition to the Packers’ roster. Despite suffering an ankle injury in 2022, Kraft still managed to make a significant impact on the field, demonstrating his resilience and determination.
