Why TUCKER KRAFT Could SAVE the GREEN BAY PACKERS (His Insane Rise)

Coming out of a small town of just a couple hundred people, Tucker Kraft was never supposed to make the NFL or play high major football. After playing 8 man football, he got an offer to play for South Dakota State and went on to become the most successful TE in school history and one of the highest draft picks in SDSU history as well. Today, I want to talk about his crazy journey to get to this point, his Jackrabbit career and why he is a steal for the Packers, enjoy!

[@ScottFisherCFB]

What topic should I cover next?

[@istantinoplebullconsta642]

Green Bay's Defensive coordinator & staff and how they might not disappoint us again this year.

[@brianw3656]

Karl Brooks please

[@matthiascorvin272]

If you haven't yet, some of the receivers. Especially the 2 we got on day 3.

[@davidspriggs5024]

I would enjoy seeing your take on Sean Clifford. Most Packers fans see Clifford as a wasted pick; however, I see him as a legit NFL QB prospect. I especially like his ability to manage and throw from the pocket. Obviously, he isn’t going into camp as a potential starter. But, I think he could be a solid #2.

[@kennethcouch4388]

Thanks. can not wait!!! GO PACKERS.

[@trentthompson3569]

9 man football, but I grew up 40 miles away from this guy. Have met him numerous times, and watching him he's gonna be a star

[@ibntanksley6172]

He's a monster and was born to be a packer. Go pack go

[@Lilmickcrocodiledundee0001]

He and Musgrave are gonna be a dominant force in GB. Glad he's here

[@thomasott9488]

Absolutely

[@death8844]

He's pretty much already q Wisconsinite

[@michaelreed6953]

I played one season at SDSU and he was a awesome person

[@adamhaas3168]

Good to hear. What position did you play?

[@Tmalbers21]

Great video 👍

[@johngannett7373]

Been a good TE for them. Caught a lot of balls that kept the chains moving.

[@johngerberding4601]

Green Bay is in for a great tight end duo....big futures.

[@flarpymcknicklenutz700]

Scary beast.. gonna b a good one

[@chadink]

This was a great video. I'm a huge Packers & really excited about this guy! He will be TE1 in my opinion, he has everything you want & need in a TE. Do Jayden Reed next, he has a great story!

[@sdebna11]

He did, way before the draft

[@Lilmickcrocodiledundee0001]

Great fit in GB. Pretty much already a Wisconsinite

[@thomasott9488]

Exactly, Gute picks these type of players that fit small town GreenBay

[@IgnoretheButter]

Another really good story is 7th Rnd Pick Jake Witt

[@alb2be]

In a couple weeks, I will be officiating a wedding minutes down the road from Timber Lake, SD and am so proud of hearing Tucker's story. Good job

[@Prairie_Barbarian]

I'm born and raised in Timber Lake SD! Very cool to see our home field on this video. PROUD TO BE A PANTHER FOOTBALL ALUMNI AND PROUD OF TUCKER KRAFT!

[@TuaDeezNutz]

Big Packers Fan, Cant wait to see this guy tear it up!

[@jomamabestfriend1225]

Shout out South Dakota

[@erik_from_wisconsin4978]

Just wait until he finds Kwik Trip 😊

[@davebnsfnscale4433]

Welcome to Culvers country!

[@lynnburnette5787]

I was never able to play football with his dad, but I played basketball with him. His dad wasn’t just an incredible athlete, he was one of the finest men I’ve ever had the honor of calling my friend. Tucker is making everyone proud…

[@leanonme1065]

Thanks for the video, I was touched by his story. Wish him well and success

[@Uncultured_Barbarian465]

Two of the many things that can help a young QB are a solid running game and pass catching tight ends. Hopefully he prospers in Green Bay.

[@donsolos]

Yup. Expect a high end draft pick on a RB next year and a couple more Olineman

[@petidentification1016]

I have watched film on both Kraft and Musgrave and it seems clear to me that Kraft is the better option and I believe that over time he will be the Packers No1 TE.

[@larrywestberg3350]

Just drove by his home town of Timber Lake. I spend time in what I call my secont home state of South Dakota every year. They sure are excited about him out here. Great young man I think he will be a great Packer!!😅

[@thomasott9488]

Excellent content.. he is a perfect fit for the Packers and will be a top TE as far as overall skills, blocking being one.. just an all around great athlete

[@kalagray6167]

Let go Culver’s.

[@aceblastorama93]

GO BIG! GO BLUE! GO JACKS!

[@danielschultz7840]

As a Packers owner I say, welcome kid. Listen and learn. Get that Playbook down 100%. Then execute. First in blocking. Never lose a blocking assignment. The passes will come. But don't drop em in Training Camp. Look the ball into your hands. All the time. Every time.

[@donsolos]

This is the TE most packer fans are excited about

[@jcurran503]

He reminds me of Gronk

[@tonymazzella3703]

Great Video and description He looks very big like I picture TEs to be. He will add a lot to the team if he stays healthy.

[@charliecollier4806]

I'm already a fan. Great story

[@SDingo-vj1sr]

I loved all their picks this year

[@TTVSWIFTY]

TIMBER LAKE

[@andyhowell6928]

This kid is hungry. He will ball out!!!!!!!!

[@chadmiller756]

I would like to see a Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez comparison with these guys (Musgrave and Kraft)

[@mateoedwin4202]

Hahahahahahhahahahaha

[@FishingForQuality13]

I’ve been saying this and everyone attacked me saying they aren’t them at all different college players I said I’m not saying they are or were the same but they can have a two tightend set similarity.People just want to argue and be keyboard warriors

[@Lep2005]

Lets just hope neither compare to closely to Hernandez…

[@timliddicoat4870]

Looks like Gronk.

[@driftlessman2094]

I absolutely love this pick for the Packers! Go alongside Musgrave, I know one of these guys gonna be special. I really think it's Kraft tbh! Big body with a ton of athleticism, I'll take that any day!

[@josephkjelgaard9141]

I think Kraft will end up becoming the more productive one of the two to be honest.

[@alexstengel8066]

I played in the marching band at SDSU when Kraft played. He just runs people over.

[@ericclaeyborn3600]

Every time I watch one of these videos, everyone is having an insane rise, or they're beasts.

[@jeffbenjamin6480]

He is a thick strong dude. I have the feeling he will be primarily used as an inline TE to start.

[@peterhunt6480]

I’d love to hear about Junior Fehoko.

[@jessekonrad4635]

Reminds me of Dallas Clark, never put up insane numbers, but elite nonetheless

[@stanthompson5400]

We might have something nice I don’t even know it🎯Gopackgo!

[@James-ll3jb]

In the Ron Kramer tradition!

[@clannf2832]

Tucker Kraft is my cousin

[@Rayven_cat]

Holy crap the 1st 5 seconds of this video and I'm impressed at the athleticism. He just jumped out of my screen to catch that ball! Packers got a dawg!

[@johnnyo5915]

I heard that in one game early in his career he played TE, QB, RB, and DE...at half time he went up in the stands to get his girlfriend a slice of pizza and a coke....WOW I am so glad this young man is a Green Bay Packer😇😎❤

[@scottsecker8657]

Even still, home grown and ready to go!!!! !!!!! !!!!

[@calebfischer9216]

I am a diehard packers fan can’t wait for the season

[@nicholashazlett4369]

Like Jayden Reed, the Pack went looking for "character guys". They seem to have done that, and I think they found a couple of dang good football players at that. Nice vid

[@RevTrevNFL]

I’m a die hard Packers fan and I loved your video hearing Tuckers story. Those injuries do concern me, but I love how he is destined to be in the NFL. I hope he does very well in Green Bay. It’s interesting that the guy said he won’t be George Kittle, or Travis Kelce, but I would love to hear a different comparison.

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

I look forward to having two guys who can block for runs or passes and also catch passes after a chip block. If teams have to start covering tight ends at the line it should reduce the pass rush pressure.

[@tylervidal7532]

ah shit i got clickbaited

[@manuelvasquez4014]

I mean really. I hate the Cowboys , but Damn !!!! They definitely do a better job at scouting. 9 men football ? Next time they will go to pick up football games I was good at that. Damn the times,

[@warrenthomas4687]

good story...worked his ass off and held true to his home state instead of chasing the NIL money. A great pick by Gute & the Pack. looking forward to him playing and succeeding on Lambeau Field.

[@12thMandalorian]

As mentioned on previous videos, if you could add their height and weight of each player you cover that would be a top class addition

[@RevTrevNFL]

Could you do a video on Musgrave going to GB?

[@TM-ro7lh]

Legend has it he was abandoned by his birth parents. He crawled into a barn where he suckled from a Holstein cow until he was old enough to be hired on as a farm hand. The rest is history.

[@manuelvasquez4014]

That’s just legend. Hope he becomes legend in Lambeau.

[@manuelvasquez4014]

Hahaha that’s f…..g funny!!!!!!

[@bushbashr]

I got a feeling the Tuckster is gonna be a Packer for a long time.

[@trentthompson3569]

Timberlake

[@peteheyde7999]

With his "I'll do whatever it takes" attitude, Tucker Kraft looks like he's going to be a perfect fit in Green Bay. Let's hope!

[@tommycryptic]

Only Jordan Love can save the Packers while Kraft is a Packer. Good luck with that.

[@death8844]

He's pretty much a Wisconsinite. He fits perfect in GB. #GOPACKGO

[@manuelvasquez4014]

I don’t care what. This is a rebuilding year , What ? No Rodgers ? No Davonte ? This is the year between Majick and Brett Favre.

[@daviddorger6916]

Im not convinced on him OR Musgrave. Hes not NFL fast and hes a little heavy on the baby fat

[@nickb8618]

I think in the long run he’s gonna be better than muskgrave.

[@davidjulseth8667]

Doubs!

[@brookcampbell2940]

John Riggins played 8 man football. Doesn’t matter where you come from

[@Nklecz1980]

Nobody mentions his terrible haircut

[@manuelvasquez4014]

😂Hey ! I have one just like it ! But then , it look’s better on me.

[@willelkins8225]

Romans 10:9-10 "That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.

[@johnnyford9839]

If the Packers don't install more tight end plays they're not going to benefit from his talents. Wake up Lafleur... get them tight ends involved !!!

[@Koyasama]

Sadly, Kraft was taken in the cursed draft slot. Green Bay in the 3rd round has been an unmitigated disaster for over a decade. He *should* be a great player for them, but...

[@MurrayBrowder]

Smash mouth Football Player, Look Out!!!!!!!!!!!

[@moorelife4449]

Funny I 100% see him being just like George Kittle

[@Logan-mi1bz]

Dallas played 11 man not 9 man

[@ScottFisherCFB]

Article I read said he played ,8

[@puppethound]

Haha, this is your hope and future Green Bay, 😂😂 Nothing will save the Packers, they will be bottom of the NFC for years to come, if it wasn't for them being in the NFC North, they might miss the playoffs for a decade. Can't wait to see how they perform without Rodgers

[@emanuelwhitehead6039]

One man can’t save a team’!!!!! Ask Aaron Rodgers

[@blars21]

Relax. Not sure if they need saving. If the pack is depending on a 3rd round te to save them they gonna suck

[@manuelvasquez4014]

True. , I love the Packers but when did they build up a good front line for Aaron Rodgers ?he got banged up really bad even having his collarbone broken. I really never understood that.

[@bobmendez7861]

no reason for the Packers to draft 2 tight ends when they should have drafted jsn or Jonathan Mingo. typical Packers draft players with previous injuries.

[@RobD37]

He should be ok with his work ethic, but I honestly dont see anything super great here. Keep in mind the low level competition he played against to. We will see once training camp starts I guess.

[@ckobo84]

He has short arms.

[@JefferyT1991]

Short pp too

[@thomasott9488]

Doesn't matter much, he's not a O or D lineman.. it's fine for a TE

[@voldemort008]

So did the T-Rex.

[@manuelvasquez4014]

Well , hopefully he has a big desire to excell , seems possible. My arms are shorter then my legs so I hope he will do ok.
