It has beenan incredible season so far for Green Bay Packers star tight end Tucker Kraft, who is emerging as one of the best in his position in the NFL today. He is coming off an explosive performance in a35-25 win on the road over Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelersin Week 8, catching seven of nine targets for a career-high 143 receiving yards to go with two touchdowns.
The 24-year-old Tucker is on pace to have his best season yet in the pros and break his current single-season career-high of 707 receiving yards, which he set in 2024. He is also just a touchdown reception away from tying his career-best, as he has six scores through seven games.
Tucker’s rise is a testament as well to Green Bay’s culture, which he recently praised following the win against the Steelers.

Kraft has been with the Packers since 2023, when Green Bay selected him in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft as the 78th pick overall of that class. While a lot is still in front of the former South Dakota State Jackrabbits star, Kraft have seen enough to realize how special the Packers’ locker room is compared to others.
“Yeah, we have some fun here,” Kraft said during a recent appearance onWake Up Barstool.
“This is a great atmosphere guys come from other teams and you know I’m spoiled because this is the only organization I’ve known but they come from other teams and they tell us that we got it different here, so we’re just trying to keep up that that culture that standard every day.”
