Unveiling the Packers’ Secret Weapon: Which Player Is Quietly Dominating the MVP Race?
Ever wonder how some players slip just beneath the radar, quietly carving out a name for themselves while the spotlight fixates elsewhere? Take Tucker Kraft, for instance — the Green Bay Packers’ unsung powerhouse who’s been jaw-droppingly effective this season, yet somehow doesn’t grab the headlines like Brock Bowers or Travis Kelce. It’s almost comical how a guy leading all tight ends in yards after catch and spending more time in-line than any other premiere tight end can still be considered underrated. Watching Kraft celebrate a first down at the goal line — as he did against the Cowboys — you can’t help but feel that maybe, just maybe, it’s high time we all start paying a little more attention. Because in the gritty trenches of NFL play, Kraft isn’t just a role player: he’s turning heads, bending defenses, and proving that toughness and versatility still make the game worth watching.
When NFL fans talk about the best tight ends in the game, they usually mention the likes of Brock Bowers, George Kittle, or Travis Kelce, and rightfully so.
They also talk about second-tier stars like Sam LaPorta or Dalton Kincaid.
Nevertheless, Tucker Kraft is making a strong case to enter that list as well.
As pointed out by Jacob Morley on X, the Green Bay Packers star has been one of the most underrated and productive players in his position this season.
He’s playing in-line more than any other TE1 in the league (60 percent), but despite that, he’s still leading all qualifying tight ends in yards after the catch.

Kraft is becoming a major threat in the open field.
Once he gets an inch of space in the middle of the field, he’s a perennial big-play threat.
Notably, he’s also emerged as one of Jordan Love’s favorite targets in the endzone.
Then again, unlike most pass-catching tight ends, Kraft isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty and open up lanes for everybody else with his blocking.
Packers fans rave about Josh Jacobs and Romeo Doubs, and rightfully so.
Still, Tucker has been one of their unsung heroes for years now.
He’s tough as nails, constantly playing through injury and still putting his body on the line every single time they need him to do so.
And after watching the tape and the numbers he’s put together through the first month of the season, perhaps it’s time he gets more credit.
