Tucker Kraft was a rampaging force in the first half of the Packers\u2019 2025 season. Through seven games, Kraft had caught 30 passes for 469 yards and six touchdowns, putting him on pace to shatter virtually every tight end-related receiving record in Packers history.<\/p>\n
And then, like so many players in Green Bay this season, an injury ended it all. A torn ACL put Kraft on the shelf from Week 9 onward, depriving the Packers of one of their best players and leaving fans wondering what could have been.<\/p>\n
That question, what could have been, will haunt players and fans alike this offseason, but Kraft appears to already be dialed in on next year. His dynamic, powerful game figures to again be a fixture in the Packers\u2019 offense in 2026, and regardless of what happened this season, Kraft appears ready to give it his all when he\u2019s able to hit the field again.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s as good a place as the Packers could hope to be at this point. Yes, 2025 didn\u2019t shake out how anyone hoped, but there\u2019s nothing to be done than to try to come back stronger again next year. That\u2019s what Kraft is working toward, and it\u2019s a good example to follow.<\/p>\n
Kraft was having a terrific season before an ACL injury ended things in an untimely manner.<\/p>\n
Van Ness battled injuries in 2025, but was very solid when he was on the field.<\/p>\n
Add Aaron Rodgers to the chorus of voices supporting Matt LaFleur.<\/p>\n
Willis was ultimately a bit player in the grand scheme of the 2025 Packers, but every moment he was on the field was enjoyable.<\/p>\n
