Robert Tonyan Jr.'s desire to play close to home only became more intense as he dealt with a torn ACL in his knee.
But his desire to play closer to home only became more intense over the past two years as he dealt with a torn ACL in his knee. The injury, suffered midway through the 2021 season, sidelined him for 10 months. He returned to play in all 17 of the Packers' games last season, but said it took almost the entire season before he felt like himself again."I just needed my circle again," Tonyan told Shaw Local.
The Bears still want Kmet to be a featured pass-catcher in this offense, but he needs help. The best NFL offenses have multiple reliable tight ends. Pairing Kmet and Tonyan should give offensive coordinator Luke Getsy the flexibility to use more two-tight end sets and feel confident that either one can make a play.
Getsy noted this spring that Tonyan can be a valuable resource for Kmet. Getsy has built this Bears offense largely off his experiences coaching in Green Bay. Tonyan ran this offense at a high level alongside former Packers QB Aaron Rodgers. The 24-year-old Kmet grew up in Lake Barrington, not far from McHenry. Both tight ends grew up rooting for the Bears. Tonyan's parents had him decked out in Bears jerseys from a young age. Tonyan said his earliest Bears memory was when they took him to a game against the Lions at Soldier Field when he was 4 or 5 years old.
Tonyan played quarterback at McHenry and was a talented basketball player. He earned the 2012 Northwest Herald Boys Basketball Player of the Year honors as a senior. He began his college career at Indiana State as a quarterback before converting to wide receiver.
