Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft recently revealed his on-field approach to talking trash to his NFL opponents. Perhaps he should have kept things to himself.
The man is an animal.
Kraft revealed on teammate AJ Dillon’s “Toonen To Dillon Podcast” that he has a tendency to really get jawing with opponents on the football field.
In fact, he admits to saying “some really weird things” to throw other players off their game.
“I’m telling people I’m gonna burn their childhood homes down,” Kraft explained.
Good Lord. It sounds like he learned how to talk smack from Mike Tyson!
How Does Tucker Kraft Disarm Opponents Trash Talk?
Might as well just photoshop that guy’s face on the ‘Disaster Girl‘ meme.
When he isn’t talking about torching the childhood homes of his opponents, Tucker Kraft has an interesting method of swatting away trash talk from others.
“I just scream,” the second-year tight end explained. “If someone’s just like, trying to talk at me, I just like start screaming. I don’t give them the chance to even finish.”
The Packers star points out that he’s willing to do just about anything on the field in order to rattle the opposition.
“They have all this film on me. I don’t want them to know what I’m doing,” he said. “Talking crazy comes with that as well.”

It Seems To Be Working
Whatever Tucker Kraft is doing, it appears to be working. He had a solid rookie season playing in all 17 games for the Green Bay Packers and starting in nearly half of them.
This season appears to be an improvement. He’s already more than halfway to his stats for the entire 2023 campaign after just five games.
In his last two games alone, he’s apparently been torching a lot of defenders’ childhood homes. Kraft has 10 catches for 141 yards and three touchdowns.
During the podcast, Kraft touched a little bit on the topic of how the game seems to slow down when you’re playing well.
“When I know what I’m doing on the field, and I’m doing it well, things just slow down, and it becomes really fun,” he said. “Like, the game really just feels like a game, and that’s when you can start playing the game within the game.”
And that’s when you can start telling players on the other team that their childhood homes are going up in flames. What a wild man!
