Now in his third season and firmly entrenched as a key cog in a high-octane passing offense, Tucker Kraft has evolved from developmental small-school prospect to one of Jordan Love's most reliable weapons.
Through six games this fall, Kraft has been nearly automatic when targeted — hauling in 18 of 21 passes his way for 268 yards and three touchdowns.
That level of efficiency speaks to both his growing chemistry with Love and his versatility within Matt LaFleur's system. Whether he's aligned inline next to the tackle as a traditional 'Y' tight end, flexed into the slot as a big-bodied receiver ('F'), or motioning across the formation to diagnose coverage, Kraft consistently finds ways to uncover and create mismatches.
