Tonyan has significant experience and should still have some juice left at 30 years old.
Looking for additional tight end depth to help them survive what's expected to be at least a 4-6 week absence for T.J. Hockenson, the Vikings brought in veteran Robert Tonyan for a workout earlier this month. The 30-year-old was highly impressive in that session.
Tonyan has now spent time with every team in the NFC North. He was signed by the Lions as an undrafted rookie out of Indiana State, then landed with the Packers' practice squad that same fall. He spent five full seasons in Green Bay, appearing in 72 games and catching 145 passes . Back in 2020, he was tied for fifth in the league with 11 touchdown receptions from Aaron Rodgers. In 2022, he had a career-high 53 receptions.
