“You ever watch the movie, ‘The Program?’” he said in response to NBC’s Melissa Stark’s question about the headbutt. “That’s Vlad. That’s just the mentality. That’s what we do.”
Stark responded, “Ouch.”

Green Bay selected Kraft in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft out of South Dakota State. The Timber Lake, South Dakota, native has only gotten better since his rookie year. Last year, he had 50 catches for 707 yards and seven touchdowns. He’s on pace for breaking those career-high marks this season.
Kraft shouted out his family and friends in his hometown. The “Sunday Night Football” broadcast showed residents of the town packed into the lone bar to watch the Packers take on the Steelers.
