Kraft broke out in 2024 leading all tight ends in yards after the catch per reception (8.8) with an eye-popping 15 missed tackles. The Packers tight end ran away with the starting job over Luke Musgrave and never looked back finishing as the TE8 overall and 10th in points per game (8.3). He ran a route on 73% of the dropbacks (7th-most).
The Packers passing game never fully got unlocked with Jordan Love constantly banged up, but this receiving corps is wide open for somebody to step up. Especially with Christian Watson suffering a torn ACL injury late in the year.
Head coach Matt LaFleur confirmed at the end of the season -100%- that Kraft has the potential to be a George Kittle or Travis Kelce type of player.
I might have already found "my guy" for tight ends in 2025.
