The Unpacking Future Packers Countdown is a countdown of 100 prospects that could be selected by the Green Bay Packers in the 2023 NFL draft.
The Green Bay Packers are currently thin at tight end. Josiah Deguara and Tyler Davis are the only tight ends on the current roster that have caught a pass in the NFL.
It’s a position that’s in dire need of an infusion of talent. Luckily for the Packers, the 2023 NFL Draft boasts a talented tight-end class.
A tight end that the Packers could target in the 2023 NFL Draft is Zack Kuntz. The Old Dominion transfer checks in at No. 27 in the Unpacking Future Packers countdown.
The Penn State transfer recorded 73 receptions for 692 yards and five touchdowns. In five games this past season Kuntz recorded 12 receptions for 144 yards and two touchdowns before suffering a season-ending injury.
Kuntz was a three-sport athlete at Camp Hill High School in Pennsylvania. He won the state title in the 110-meter hurdles.

Couple that with a nine-catch, 100-yard day with a touchdown and he very much lived up to the hype.”
With his size (6-7, 255 pounds) and his freakish athleticism, Kuntz has the tools to develop into a mismatch nightmare at the next level.
“For a player who is his size, he’s a smooth athlete and a very good pass catcher,” Henry said. “Sometimes, when you see skill position players who have his size and test well at the combine, they’re incredible individual athletes who can excel at the combine drills — but that doesn’t always translate to the field, with Kuntz it does.”
With his size and speed, Kuntz is a vertical threat that could make a living terrorizing teams over the middle of the field. On top of that, he has all the makings of being a mismatch weapon inside the 20s.
With his frame, he has a huge catch radius, giving the quarterback a huge…
