GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Mark Bavaro and Tucker Kraft had something in common: They had never heard of each other before.

And why would they have?

Bavaro is a 61-year-old Bostonian whose NFL career ended six years before Kraft was born.

Kraft is a 24-year-old native of Timber Lake, South Dakota (population 509), just trying to crack the inner circle of today's top NFL tight ends.

Enter Rich Bisaccia, the old-school assistant head coach/special teams coordinator of the Green Bay Packers.
