The Minnesota Vikings are embarking on the 2024 season with a fresh atmosphere, as quarterback J.J. McCarthy steps in for Kirk Cousins. While the spotlight initially shone on Justin Jefferson for securing the most lucrative contract in NFL history for a non-quarterback, another receiver has been earning praise during minicamp.
Robert Tonyan, the newly signed tight end, has made a significant impact since joining the team last month, bolstering a tight end group led by T.J. Hockenson, who is recuperating from an ACL/MCL injury. According to The Athletic’s Alec Lewis, Tonyan’s performance during workouts with the team left coaches thoroughly impressed, ultimately leading to his signing.
During camp, Tonyan showcased his skills, with Lewis likening him to a football magnet, and he even pulled off a remarkable catch in the back of the end zone.
