Think Indiana State doesn't make an impact in the NFL?
Robert Tonyan Jr. was the recipient of another incredible Aaron Rodgers pass Thursday night.
Tonyan's first NFL catch was a 54-yard touchdown. He celebrated like he had been there before.
If you didn't know about him before, here's the "bottom line" on his NFL.com draft profile: "Tonyan is a quarterback-turned-receiver who is now transitioning to tight end. He's an impressive athlete with good initial quickness and a second gear to create separation in his routes and the ball skills and strong hands to secure challenging catches. He's not ready to block and he needs to improve his functional strength to prepare for the pounding he will get in his routes by NFL safeties. He projects as a slot tight end who could open eyes as early as this year's training camp."
He wasn't drafted in 2017, and he signed with the Detroit Lions but didn't play. He had been on the field for 10 offensive snaps this season in Green Bay before Thursday night.
