Rising star gives the perfect description of how the Packers’ offense has been constructed and why it’s thriving
Tucker Kraft had a career game against the Commanders.
Tight end Tucker Kraft is a real ascending star for the Green Bay Packers. In the first two games of the regular season, he offered a combination of tough catches, big blocks, explosiveness after the catch, and one touchdown per game.
Against the Washington Commanders on Thursday night, the third-year player had the best game of his career so far: Six receptions, 124 yards, and a touchdown. He was a big part of why the Packers won the game 27-18.
Kraft has selfless reaction to the game
Even though Tucker Kraft was the offensive star of the game, he made sure to give credit to his teammates—but also to how this offense has been built by general manager Brian Gutekunst.
“Yeah, I mean, with all the playmakers we have on our offense, you might just call us a five-headed dragon,” Kraft highlighted. “We got depth at wide receiver. You saw guys make critical catches. You had Malik Heath, that toe-tap, Wicks coming back to the ball in that two-minute drill. Just a bunch of dogs, and I’m happy they’re on my side.”
Kraft is not the only player happy to be a part of this unit. Quarterback Jordan Love praised Kraft and the rest of the offense for their performance—albeit it wasn’t the cleanest game.
“That’s who Tuck is every day. He comes in and puts that work in, and in practice every day, he’s making those big time plays, and he’s very consistent right now,” Love stressed. “I don’t think it’s a secret for him to go out there and ball like he does, first time having 100 yards, which is pretty cool for him. He just goes out there and translates the work from practice into the games and is consistent with what he does. We just gotta keep building on with him. But Tuck’s a guy that’s gonna have a big year.”
The Packers have relied more on two-tight end sets this year, and Kraft is not the only beneficiary of this approach. Even in a limited role, Luke Musgrave finished the Commanders’ game with two receptions for 32 yards.
It’s a new approach, and the entire offense is getting ready to follow up a great defensive start to build a complete, all-around team in 2025.
