Kruger is 6’6, 290 lbs. He was drafted in the 7th round of the 2013 draft by the Philadelphia Eagles. The rookie defensive lineman spent the 2013 season on IR after injuring his shoulder during a preseason game.

Kruger was released by the Eagles before the 2014 season began, and has spent time on the Chargers and Packers practice squads. Green Bay waived Kruger two weeks ago.

Kruger is the younger brother of Cleveland Browns DE Paul Kruger.
