Louisville football: The incredible story of Reggie Bonnafon continues

Just two days away from the Louisville football season opener, one former Cardinal who was a huge part of the victory over the Irish in 2014 has made some news of his own – it’s news that not many people ever thought they’d hear.

Former Louisville football quarterback turned receiver, turned running back, has pulled off another big upset, this time in the NFL. After spending last season on the practice squad of the Carolina Panthers, Reggie Bonnafon went into training camp and the 2019 NFL preseason looking to prove that he belonged.

Four games and 13 receptions, 139 yards, 11 carries and 51 yards later, Reggie Bonnafon has earned a spot on the final 53 man roster of Carolina Panthers.
