Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft was one of the attendees at the “Tight End University” event held in Nashville this week.
Started in 2021, this year’s three-day event marked the sixth annual “Tight End University” summit, which brings together dozens of players from the position for on-field work, film study and plenty of raucous fun among peers.
Kraft, who was in the middle of an All-Pro caliber season before suffering an ACL injury last season, has become one of the NFL’s best young players at the tight end position. He is likely to sign a lucrative contract extension at some point in 2026, possibly resetting the market at tight end.
From the Tight End University website: “Over the course of the summit, attendees are able to bond, collaborate with, and learn amongst their peers while participating in a variety of activities including film study, on-field drills, recovery, rehabilitation, and more. In addition to current players, TEU also features several retired legends who provide attendees with the invaluable opportunity to learn from some of the best to ever play the game.”
The event was held at Vanderbilt University and featured on-field work available to fans.
More on Tight End University can be found at the event’s Instagram page.
Kraft and the Packers will return to Green Bay for the start of training camp in late July. While he may begin camp on the PUP list, Kraft is expecting to be ready to go for Week 1 of the regular season.
