Bonnafon

[MHS831]

We might have something here....

As most of you know by now, I have been fixated on the flexibility of the draft picks--their ability to understand multiple positions.  Nobody personifies this more than Bonnafon, a genuine Swiss Army knife.  He is a running back, he can catch passes, and he can throw passes.  He has a 43.5 inch vertical.  He runs a 4.4 (he said) at 6' 3".  He would/could save us a roster spot (backup WR, #3 QB, #3 RB).  Coaches say he has a great attitude.  Team player.

This kid will make the team.  Too good of an athlete.

I am not sure that he is planned to be that, but that is where this is headed.  Shoot, with this kid, we can carry 2 QBs on the roster knowing he can play as an emergency QB.  We can carry 5 WRs instead of 6.  We can run the qb option, halfback option (run pass).  Woodie.

Ummm, depends on the source.  https://247sports.com/player/reggie-bonnafon-20407

and the pro day measurement was closer to 6'1".  if he ran a 4.53 once, that does not mean a 4.4 is not something he has done.  I  stated (he said).

As a Louisville fan who has watched every game of his career, I am shocked with the amount of love he is getting on here and on twitter. He was recruited out of Trinity High School (Louisville HS) as a 3 star QB. There was a lot of excitement about him coming out of HS and being a local kid who player WB. Outside of beating ND on the road his freshman year, he was a flop at QB.

His first chance at RB was brutal. He was by far the worst RB they put out there. He then was moved to WR where he was ok out of the slot. His senior year they put him back at RB and he was solid. He was never the lead back. Reggie also never played a down of defense in 4 years, so not sure how he helps at CB.

with all that said, he is a great kid. His father who use to coach him and was very close to him died while he was in college. I felt awful for him, but he came back and took on an even bigger leadership role after that. I hope nothing but the best for him, but I don't see it.

actually, 6'0" is not accurate either.  It worked for you to round down .7 of an inch, so you went with it.
