Matt LaFleur Reacts to Massive Superstar Ceiling of Potential 2025 Record-Setter

   

The Green Bay Packers are counting on Jordan Love and the passing game to take a step forward in 2025. In 2024, the Packers were 14th in the league overall with an average of 222.1 passing yards per game, though that also had something to do with the games missed by Love. 

When Love was sidelined, Malik Willis was called upon to direct the offense on the field from under center, and that often led to rushing plays. 

The Packers also had a very effective ground game to rely on, thanks to the arrival of running back Josh Jacobs to the team.

Whether Green Bay has a true WR1 or not, the Packers can still be expected to involve tight end Tucker Kraft a lot in their air attack. Last season. Kraft recorded 707 receiving yards while finding the end zone seven times on 50 catches and 70 targets across 17 games. He has also proven to be a durable asset for Green Bay, as the former South Dakota State star has not missed a game thus far in his time in the pros.

Green Bay Packers’ Kraft gets huge career projection from head coach


 

In his second season, Kraft finished with 707 receiving yards, already the fifth most in a single season by a Packers tight end. Coming off his breakout year, Matt LaFleur was asked if Kraft could be a George Kittle or Travis Kelce type of player in his offense.

“100 percent,” was his response.

Kraft, who will be 25 years old in November, also has a shot at becoming just the first Packers ever to record at least 1,000 receiving yards in a season. If he is indeed to be a top-tier tight end in the league, it won’t hurt his image to have such a season.
