The Green Bay Packers faced a disappointing Week 1 loss against the Minnesota Vikings, with the Vikings dominating in the fourth quarter and scoring 22 points while the Packers went scoreless. However, there were some positives for the Packers as they welcomed back Tucker Kraft for the first time since he tore his ACL last season.
Kraft played well in his return, finishing with three receptions for 65 yards. While other tight ends around the league had better statistics, Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated believes that Kraft has the potential to become the NFL's best tight end this season. Breer stated, "Good on the Packers for getting Tucker Kraft signed long term.
He’s just scratching the surface of where he can go. Barring bumps coming back from the torn ACL, he could well be the NFL’s best tight end by the end of the year." The Packers were aware of Kraft's capabilities before his injury, which is why they signed him to an extension before the season. As the team looks to improve their overall performance, particularly in the fourth quarter, they will be closely watching Kraft's development throughout the season.
