Kraft Acknowledges Rising Drop Rate After Packers’ Win

His blunt assessment highlights reliability concerns tied to a recent big contract while Green Bay’s offense shows signs of improvement.

Overview

  • The Packers beat the Buccaneers in Week 4 and Tucker Kraft caught his first touchdown of the season while also dropping a pass that could have been a score.
  • Kraft told reporters that his "drop rate right now is terrible," saying he will own the mistakes after the game.
  • Pro Football Focus data cited in coverage lists three drops for Kraft so far and shows his drop rate near 16.7 percent compared with a 6.8 percent career mark.
  • Kraft drew extra scrutiny after he publicly criticized fan boos following a previous home loss and later partially walked that comment back amid criticism from media voices such as Kyle Brandt.
  • Kraft’s recent struggles are receiving added attention because he signed a reported four-year, $75 million extension with up to $92 million in incentives, even as the offensive line and Jordan Love’s passing performance point to a stabilizing offense.
