Green Bay Packers: NFL Insider Shares '1 Clear Observation' Regarding Offense So Far in Training Camp

Over the course of the offseason, Love has dropped hints about targeting his tight ends more in the offense. And according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, who was present at training camp in Green Bay last week, it appears that is exactly what is happening, at least during these early practices:

“One clear observation: Love is very comfortable throwing to his tight ends, Tucker Kraft and Luke Musgrave, who were featured prominently during this particular session. Part of that was by design, as at least two receivers were on rest days when I visited.

“Injuries limited Musgrave to seven games last season, which resulted in a Kraft breakout season but a lack of the potent two-TE attack the Packers envisioned. That plan is now back on.

“‘What’s cool is they are both fully capable of doing a lot of cool stuff,’ LaFleur said. ‘It definitely gives you a lot more flexibility on offense, the athleticism you’re looking for in both the run and the pass game. It makes you a lot more unpredictable.'”

Back in 2023, the Packers drafted both Kraft and Musgrave, hoping that both would play significant roles on offense. However, as Fowler notes, Musgrave has been severely hampered by injuries over his first two NFL seasons. Many forget, though, that as a rookie, he tied Green Bay’s franchise record for receptions by a rookie tight end.

But both are healthy in camp and both are looking to take the roles the team envisioned for them.

Kraft, especially, is looking at becoming one of the more noteworthy tight ends in the NFL. Last season, he had 50 receptions for 707 yards and seven touchdowns.

If both players take strides forward in 2025, opposing defenses will be hard-pressed to figure out the best way to approach the Packers offense.
