Packers’ Tucker Kraft has wordless reaction to snub

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft had a rough ending to his 2025 NFL campaign.

Kraft was on pace to become just the first-ever Green Bay tight end in history to record at least 1,000 receiving yards in a season until he suffered a devastating knee injury during a 16-13 loss at Lambeau Field against Bryce Young and the visiting Carolina Panthers.

Up until that point, Kraft was not just among the best downfield offensive weapons for Green Bay, but in the entire league as well.

Yet, Kraft did not make Madden 26’s list of the 10 highest-rated tight ends.

For what it’s worth, Kraft shared that post without any caption.

George Kittle of the San Francisco 49ers tops the list with a 98 rating, followed by Trey McBride of the Arizona Cardinals (97).

Brock Bowers of the Las Vegas Raiders and Mark Andrews of the Baltimore Ravens are third and fourth with 93 and 91 grades, respectively. Travis Kelce (90) of the Kansas City Chiefs is fifth, while Dallas Goedert of the Philadelphia Eagles (88) is sixth.

Sam LaPorta (87) came in at seventh, while Hunter Henry (86) of the New England Patriots is eighth.

Rounding out the list are Tyler Warren (84) of the Indianapolis Colts and TJ Hockenson (84) of the Minnesota Vikings.

Kraft, who is on the injured reserve, played in eight games in the 2025 campaign and collected a total of 489 receiving yards and six touchdowns on 32 receptions and 44 targets.

If anything, Kraft can use the snub as motivation to come back stronger from his injury.
