Robert Joseph Tonyan Jr. (/tʌnjən/ TUN-yən;[1] born April 30, 1994) is an American professional football tight end for the Minnesota Vikings of the National Football League (NFL). Tonyan played for the Green Bay Packers for five seasons from 2018 to 2022. He played college football at Indiana State, and signed with the Detroit Lions as an undrafted free agent in 2017.[2] After five years with Green Bay, Tonyan played one season for the 2023 Chicago Bears. Tonyan signed with the Minnesota Vikings for the 2024 season.

Early life

Tonyan attended McHenry Community High School – East Campus. He lettered twice in basketball and football. As a quarterback, he was named all-conference as a junior and senior, and set the school record with 5,000 career passing yards.[3]

College career

Tonyan enrolled at Indiana State in 2012, and started for four years after redshirting his first year. He appeared in 11 games in 2013, starting three as a quarterback. His first career completion was a 57-yard touchdown, and he completed 35 of 102 passes for 348 yards and three touchdowns.[3] His second year, he moved to wide receiver, where he caught 54 passes for 747 yards (6th in school history)[4] and four touchdowns, including a career-high 172 yards in the last game of the season (seventh in school history).[4] In his 2015 junior season, Tonyan had 40 receptions for 601 yards (fourteenth in school history) and six touchdowns despite starting just six of 11 games, which earned him an honorable mention on the All-Missouri Valley Football Conference team. As a fifth-year senior, Tonyan had 56 receptions for 699 yards (ninth all-time) and a school-record ten touchdowns. He set several career records for the Sycamores, including 20 touchdown receptions, 21 consecutive games with a reception, two games with three receiving touchdowns, and was second all-time to Sam Logan with 150 receptions and 2,047 yards.[4]
