The Lass Word: Opportunity Knocks For Deguara
The path of a pro football player is often a long and winding road. Take Packers tight end Robert Tonyan for example. From relative obscurity at a small college program, to making an NFL roster, to breaking out as the league’s leading touchdown catcher at his position, to a slow start this year. Then, just as he seemed to be reasserting his prominence in the Green Bay offense, he blows out his knee and his season is over.
“Bobby’s a tough one to replace” says Matt LaFleur. “He’s a guy that is so versatile, both in the run game and the pass game.“ Tonyan now likely faces surgery and a long, arduous rehab process that will take the better part of a year.
