The Packers have been searching for a viable tight end option since the early retirement of Jermichael Finely. They probably let one get away in Jared Cook before missing badly with Martellus Bennett and Jimmy Graham. Meanwhile, Robert Tonyan has continued to ascend the latter.

Now in his third year with Green Bay, Tonyan is getting more playing time than ever. And producing more than ever. He’s already set a career-high in receptions (37), receiving yards (458) and touchdowns (7) with five games remaining. Even better; Aaron Rodgers has continuously demonstrated confidence in Tonyan who can’t help but keep getting open. He’s added some big-play ability to the Packers’ offense as well and could be a major weapon in the postseason.
