Jordan Love carries a big responsibility for the Green Bay Packers. Playing the most important football position for a historic franchise with a massive and loyal fanbase can rattle a human, but Love appears to be handling the pressure well. 

Still, there’s plenty left to prove for the former Utah State Aggies football star, as he prepares for his third season as the Packers’ regular and full-time starting quarterback. It’s all about bringing home the Vince Lombardi Trophy for the Packers, and while they won 11 games in 2024 and reached the postseason for the second time since the end of the Aaron Rodgers era, it’s still not good enough for the franchise.

Green Bay tried to add hype to the upcoming season with Love, as the Packers shared a post on social media on Monday.

Kraft is expected to play a significant role in Green Bay’s passing attack. He is entering his third season in the NFL and is eyeing a big 2025 campaign. He had 707 receiving yards with seven touchdowns on 50 receptions and 70 targets through 17 games in 2024, and that’s with Love missing a couple of games due ot injury.

Just 25 years old, Kraft has a chance to make history for Green Bay, which has yet to have a tight end reach at least 1,000 receiving yards in a season.
