Last week, the Green Bay Packers showcased an unexpected 27-19 winning performance against the Kansas City Chiefs. Their tight end, Tucker Kraft, addressed maintaining similar momentum in the forthcoming matches as well. As the Packers are getting ready to face their next opponent, the New York Giants, Kraft is setting himself up to target the defense players of the side.

For the Packers, the entry of Kraft into the side has been nothing short of positive, aligning with the team’s recent winning streak. This undoubtedly suggests a potential link between his development and the offensive success of the Packers. Moreover, Kraft has provided the team with an attitude shift, bringing a perspective of aggression and challenge to the team.

Tucker Kraft wouldn’t mind being violent during the game!

Talking about aggressive mentality on The Draft Network, Kraft said, “I’m comfortable with violence at the LOS. I want to punish defenders as a blocker.” He mentioned the emotions changing on the face of the defense players as he puts them “on their heels.” Tucker Kraft further added, “I can feel their breath leaving. They exhale as I fall on top of them.”

A reference to Kraft’s tough play was seen during the last clash of the Packers. His initial plans and attitude helped the team reach a better position and gain momentum to win over the mighty Chiefs. He was supported by teammate Jordan Love throughout the game. In a crucial moment on Sunday night, Jordan Love made a big-time throw into tight windows.

Love, facing pressure, threw off his back foot 11 yards behind the line of scrimmage. The ball traveled about 45 yards in the air, falling perfectly into the arms of WR Romeo Doubs, who made a remarkable catch between two Chiefs safeties while falling to the ground.

Referring to this, Kraft believes it’s alright to be violent at the line of scrimmage, and he’s ready to go through it in the next game as well. Kraft got his first true highlight in the season against the Los Angeles Chargers, where he showcased some great abilities. So much so, that even the head coach Matt LaFleur praised the player for his abilities.

Matt LaFleur points out the progress of Kraft

In the recent Los Angeles Chargers game, Tucker Kraft caught a short pass, showcasing his run-after-catch ability as he turned it into an impressive 27-yard gain. These dynamic plays were evident in his film from South Dakota State but had yet to manifest in the professional arena.

Despite being initially ruled a touchdown, the play was overturned after a replay review. Nonetheless, it provided a glimpse into the skills that Kraft aimed to build on at the pro level. Matt LaFleur said, “You can see the growth in him. Making a huge play on a simple flat route, just showing his athleticism, his speed. But I think a lot of things you guys don’t always see, just how much growth he’s had in the run game, as well, as a blocker has been evident.”

So, there’s a great chance that in the coming seasons, Tucker Kraft could establish his place as one of the best tight ends in the game. But, to reach there, he’ll need to work on a lot of things and channel his aggression in the right direction. What are your thoughts about this? Let us know in the comments section.
