Tucker Kraft on dropped passes: I'm trying to do too much

Tucker Kraft’s return to action after last season’s torn ACL has been marked by inconsistency, as the Packers tight end struggled with dropped passes early in the campaign. Though Kraft delivered his first touchdown reception in last Sunday’s win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he also missed a catch that could have added points to the Packers’ ledger.

The error was part of a troubling trend, as Kraft has already dropped five passes through four games—tying his career high for a full season. In a candid reflection, Kraft admitted he may be overextending himself, particularly when the offense faces a slowdown.

"I’m trying to do too much," he said, acknowledging that his eagerness to make game-saving plays has led to fundamental mistakes. "I’m taking my eyes off the ball," he added, vowing to simplify his role and focus on securing receptions.

Kraft’s pre-injury performance earned him a long-term contract, and he remains determined to build on his past success, starting with reliable ball-handling.
