Packers’ Tucker Kraft leading NFL in key category amid breakout season

Packers tight end Tucker Kraft is having the kind of start to the 2025 season that puts him alongside some of the premier players at the position.

Emerging as one of quarterback Jordan Love’s favorite, and most explosive targets, Kraft has become a focal point of the Packers’ passing game and one of Green Bay’s most important players, especially amid injuries at receiver beginning to mount and first-round rookie Matthew Golden going through some growing pains.

Through the first three wekes of the season, Kraft has caught 11 passes for 129 yards and two touchdowns, setting the pace for the 2025 campaign to be the most prolific season of his three-year career, so far.

Additionally, The 33rd Team points out that Love’s 149.7 passer rating when targeting Kraft leads all pass catchers across the league.

Kraft is off to an explosive start, even while battling through a knee injury, which makes his opening three games even more impressive.

“It says a lot about him and the competitor he is. So yeah, I think he is feeling good,” coach Matt LaFleur told reporters.
