5 Packers Who Earned Themselves a Bigger Role With Week 5 Win

4. Tucker Kraft

Tucker Kraft is emerging as one of the Packers’ most dynamic offensive weapons, and his potential has been on full display in recent weeks. Through five games, Kraft ranks second on the team with 16 receptions for 218 yards and is tied for the team lead with three touchdown receptions. His playmaking ability, particularly with the ball in his hands, has added a new dimension to Green Bay’s offense.

Kraft's skills were showcased once again against the Rams in Week 5. In the third quarter, he found himself wide open on the left side of the field, hauled in the pass, and then took matters into his own hands.

He stiff-armed one defender into the turf and slipped by another, aided by a great block from Dontayvion Wicks, on his way to the end zone. It was a play that highlighted not only his physicality but his ability to create after the catch—a critical trait for any game-changing tight end.

Kraft’s potential as a playmaker goes beyond just catching passes. He’s been effective in blocking situations and can pull defenders out of position, opening up opportunities for other Packers playmakers.

With his size, athleticism, and versatility, Kraft has the tools to become a cornerstone of Green Bay’s offense as they evolve.

The Packers have a budding star in Kraft, and there’s even more room for him to take on a bigger role in the game plan.

If the coaching staff continues to unlock his potential, Kraft could help elevate this offense into one of the league’s most dangerous units. His ability to impact the game in multiple ways makes him a key figure for the Packers' future success.
