Tucker Kraft is from Timber Lake, South Dakota. Population:

His high school was so small — he played running back, middle linebacker, AND punter. As a senior, he rushed for 1,405 yards and 24 TDs and was named first-team All-State. Tucker chose to play college football for his home state school instead of going elsewhere.

In 2023, Tucker was drafted in the third round — 78th overall — by the Packers. He didn’t score his first NFL TD until Week 11, but then, a match was lit!

In Week 14 of his rookie season, he posted a career-high 64 yards in four completions. And in the Divisional Round loss to the 49ers, Tucker scored his first playoff TD.
