## Quick Facts

- **Position:** TE

- **Role:** Depth TE, blocking specialist, offensive system continuity

## 2026 Outlook

Tonyan signed with Pittsburgh in 2026 as a depth tight end competing for No. 3 reps. A college wide receiver with limited tight end production, he provides value through Aaron Rodgers familiarity and knowledge of Mike McCarthy's offensive system (both connections from their time with Green Bay). Played all 17 games with Kansas City in 2025, with majority of snaps on running plays, showcasing his blocking prowess. At 31+ years old and slower than elite TE prospects, he's a veteran depth piece rather than a fantasy-relevant target. (per Pittsburgh's Tight End Battle Is Suddenly Heating Up)
