2. Robert Tonyan

A sleeping giant right in front of our faces, Robert Tonyan has quickly risen to become one of the better tight ends in the NFC. On the season, he has already set a career-high in receptions (41), receiving yards (497) and reception touchdowns (eight). If he continues that pace, he’ll finish with around 55 receptions for 662 yards and double-digit tuddies.

Tonyan has emerged from a crowded tight room to become Aaron Rodgers’ favorite target in the passing game (among his position). He’s big, athletic and strong when the ball is in the air and does a great job running straight forward until someone brings him down in the open field (easier said than done). He’s been a shot in the arm for this Packers’ offense and should be rewarded for it by making his first Prow Bowl.
