Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft said he hopes kids — who look up to him and want to be like the star athlete — also find a relationship with Christ while doing so.
The 23-year-old tight end went viral on Tuesday when he threw his support behind Houston Texans QB <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nbc-plays-clip-of-record-setting-nfl-qb-they-cut-out-him-thanking-jesus-christ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">C.J. Stroud</a>, who recently got a lot of attention after he expressed his love for Jesus Christ and defended his faith.
&#8220;I&#8217;m not saying I&#8217;m on the same level as C.J., however if a youngster flips on the tv and watches me and decides that maybe someday they want to be just like me; I hope that their dream also brings them closer to our lord and savior,&#8221; Kraft wrote on <a href="https://x.com/TuckerKraft/status/1749574255530889676?s=20">X.</a> 
&#8220;We have imperfections,&#8221; he added. &#8220;But we must keep the faith.&#8221; At the time of this publication, the post has been viewed 3.5 million times.

Former NFL head coach and now NFL analyst Tony Dungy shared Kraft&#8217;s post and thanked both the Packers and Ravens stars — along with San Francisco 49ers QB <a href="https://www.deseret.com/2024/1/19/24043620/49ers-steve-young-and-brock-purdy-talk-about-faith">Brock Purdy</a> — for being open about how important their faith is to them.
&#8220;Thank you Tucker Kraft for speaking up and using your platform to let people know how important Christ is in your life,&#8221; Dungy wrote on <a href="https://x.com/TonyDungy/status/1749808075211690492?s=20">X</a>. 
&#8220;I&#8217;m thankful for all the guys like you, C.J., Brock, and so many other players who are letting their voice be heard,&#8221; he added. &#8220;And not just after big wins but all the time.&#8221;
On Monday, <a href="https://twitter.com/JonnyRoot_/status/1749535849015124198?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1749535849015124198%7Ctwgr%5Ecc9d948cbd7a0997934b75b45b93a1baa3fe1ed5%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.outkick.com%2Fcj-stroud-christian-faith-says-other-players-coaches-appreciate-him-spreading-gospel%2F">Stroud</a> spoke to members of the press following the team’s playoff loss to the Baltimore Ravens, and said that he&#8217;s &#8220;had a lot of great people who have reached out, and even guys after games, who just talk about how I mention God and Christ.&#8221; It comes after the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nbc-plays-clip-of-record-setting-nfl-qb-they-cut-out-him-thanking-jesus-christ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">QB said</a> he gives  &#8220;all glory and praise to my Lord, Jesus Christ,&#8221; following the Texans&#8217; Wild Card Playoff win the week before against the Cleveland Browns.
&#8220;I always tell people that it&#8217;s not me, it’s him,&#8221; Stroud said. &#8220;There&#8217;s nothing I can do to ever repay what the Lord has done in my life and I don&#8217;t want to, I just want to act in what he&#8217;s calling me to do.&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;m not perfect, I make mistakes every day, but at the same time I know the God I serve is a forgiving God …,&#8221; he added. &#8220;There&#8217;s a lot of us out here too that love the Lord, and there is nothing wrong with that.&#8221;
&#8220;I appreciate everybody who reaches out and I&#8217;m not doing it to look cool,&#8221; Stroud continued. &#8220;I&#8217;m doing it because that&#8217;s what God called me to do.&#8221;
