Why I'm betting on Robert Tonyan

I have always been a big fan of Robert Tonyan. It's no secret.

The Packers tight end started off as a practice squad guy in 2018 and worked his way into the starting lineup in 2020, posting a tight end league-leading 11 touchdown receptions that season.

However, in a contract year in 2021, Tonyan wasn't showing up in the stat box much during the first part of the season. He finally started to get things going before tearing his ACL on Oct. 28 at Arizona.

Nine months later, Tonyan, understandably, has yet to fully practice during the opening part of Packers training camp.
