The Green Bay Packers, according to many analysts and fans, were Super Bowl favorites heading into the 2025 NFL season.
Their offense was slated to take a step forward, and with the key addition of Micah Parsons, things were shaping up well for the defense.
While they’re 2-1, the Packers are far from a flawless team, as tight end Tucker Kraft noted in a recent conversation shared via reporter Dave Schroeder on X.
“We have the best defense in the NFL. So we just have to help them out… we are fed up with our own mistakes,” Kraft said.

Kraft mentioned that mistakes have been a frustration point for them on offense, indicating that they’re not putting the defense in a position to succeed.
Jordan Love’s interception was the first turnover of the season for the Packers, which is certainly positive, but missed opportunities don’t show up in the box score the same way turnovers do, so they can be tougher to track.
But, whether it’s a dropped pass, an incorrectly run route, or general miscommunication, there are always chances for teams to improve on both sides of the ball.
Kraft understands this and seemingly hopes to be a leader for his teammates on that side of the ball, knowing they are better than what they’ve showcased to this point in the season.
His role has been clearly defined thus far as a top-end target for Love, and he should continue to see a lot of receiving work, especially with other pass-catchers out with injuries.
