The Green Bay Packers selected South Dakota State tight end Tucker Kraft in the third round of this year’s draft. The addition of Kraft will provide this Packers offense with some much-needed yards after the catch (YAC) ability at the tight end position.
During the 2022 season, Kraft dealt with some injuries and had just 29 targets, however, on his receptions, he averaged a whopping 8.0 yards after the catch. To put that into perspective, at the FBS level, this would’ve been tied for the highest rate in all of college football among tight ends. Also of note, in just 21 receptions, Kraft forced nine missed tackles.
