Thursday Cheese Curds: Robert Tonyan learning from “big brothers” Jimmy Graham, Marcedes Lewis

Jimmy Graham and Marcedes Lewis are the Green Bay Packers’ tight ends of the present, but both are near the end of their careers. Luckily for the Packers, they know it and are preparing the team for the future.

Despite taking Jace Sternberger in the third round of April’s draft, it has been Robert “Big Bob” Tonyan who has been the standout tight end of training camp heading into tonight’s preseason opener. Signed in 2017 after the undrafted free agent was released by the Detroit Lions, Tonyan spent the final four games of 2017 on Green Bay’s practice squad before appearing in nine games last season.
