What about Bob? Can Robert Tonyan maintain his massive first month?

On Monday Night Football, in an empty Lambeau Field and against an Atlanta Falcons team whose secondary is pieced together with scotch tape, the world was introduced to Robert Joseph Tonyan Jr.

The third year TE out of Indiana State has maintained relative anonymity to the average NFL viewer and is most affectionately known as Big Bob among Green Bay Packers fans. Prior to this season, Big Bob was stuck behind Jimmy Graham on the depth chart, as well as Marcedes Lewis who is an absolute unit that blocks. His rookie season was forgetful (16 games, six targets, four catches) but his rookie season flashed potential before being felled with an injury.
