The 2nd-round pick out of Oregon State opened 2023 with 34 catches for 352 yards in 11 regular-season games — a top-12 rookie TE pace before a lacerated kidney ended his regular season in Week 11. He returned for the playoffs and caught a TD in Green Bay's wild-card upset of Dallas.
Then the line went flat. 2024 was 7 games, 7 catches, 45 total yards — Tucker Kraft had taken over. 2025 has been a bounce-back of sorts (24 rec, 252 yds in 13 games) but he has gone 23 straight regular-season games without a touchdown.

Musgrave's first NFL TD came on Nov 5, 2023 against the Rams (a 51-yard, 3-catch day). His second was a playoff TD vs Dallas in the 48-32 wild-card upset on Jan 14, 2024.
That's it. In 23 regular-season games since that Rams TD, he has 0 receiving TDs. The career touchdown count (counting playoffs) reads 2 — both arriving within a single rookie-year run.

Musgrave missed roughly half the 2024 season with an ankle injury, but the bigger story is what happened in the 7 games he did play: 10 total targets, 7 receptions, 45 total yards.
Green Bay used him primarily as a blocker in 12-personnel while Tucker Kraft exploded — 707 yards and 7 TDs in 2024 absorbed every meaningful target. The single-game high for Musgrave that season was 19 yards in Week 18 against Chicago.
In a 13-game 2025, he's at 24 catches — Tucker Kraft hit that in 8 games.
ComparisonMusgrave's 2025 box score (31 tgt, 24 rec, 252 yds, 0 TD through Week 16) is a serviceable TE2 line, but a fraction of what was projected when he was drafted. He's averaging 19.4 receiving yards per game, down from his promising 2023 rate of 32.0 yds/game.
In the same 2025 Packers offense, Tucker Kraft has been an elite TE1 — Musgrave's draft position (Round 2, pick 42) was supposed to make him the long-term starter. Instead the 2023 2nd-rounder is being out-snapped by the 2023 3rd-rounder (Kraft, pick 78).
Career-high game: 64 receiving yards in Week 10 of his rookie year (Nov 2023 vs Pittsburgh).
MilestoneMusgrave's single-game ceiling was set about 18 months ago: a 2-catch, 64-yard performance in Pittsburgh on Nov 12, 2023. He has not topped 52 yards in any game since.
His 2025 high is 52 yards vs Denver in Week 15. The career receiving yards total (regular season plus all postseason games played) now sits at 724 across 34 games — about 21.3 yards per game over three NFL seasons.
