New Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft will wear No. 85 as a rookie.
Kraft, the team’s third-round pick, wore No. 85 for all four seasons at South Dakota State.
Tucker will take the number from Robert Tonyan, who wore No. 85 for the Packers from 2018 to 2022. He left Green Bay to sign a deal with the Chicago Bears this offseason.
Among the former Packers to wear No. 85: Max McGee, Greg Jennings, Wesley Walls, Corey Bradford and Phil Epps.
First-round pick Lukas Van Ness will wear No. 90, second-round pick Luke Musgrave will wear No. 88 and second-round pick Jayden Reed will (likely?) wear No. 1.
