Kraft remarked that the hit reminded him of the intensity of the game, stating it was his first significant contact since November 2. He feels prepared for the upcoming season opener against Minnesota and is eager to contribute as much as possible.

While Kraft is focused on his performance, he also mentioned that discussions regarding a potential contract extension are still pending, but he remains optimistic about his readiness for the season.
