Bonnet joined the Eagles prior to the start of last season and actually made the team’s initial ten-man practice squad. He spent five weeks with the practice squad before being waived. However, he not only has experience with the Eagles as a team, but also two individuals.
A former NDSU teammate of Carson Wentz and C.J Smith, Bonnet also has experience at Tight end. As a senior, Bonnet made nine starts, playing in all 15 games, receiving for three touchdowns and 105 yards.
There was a lot of hype surrounding the potential inclusion of a fullback this season, but we never saw a long-term solution at the position, nor did we really see it truly implemented on a regular basis. Bonnet will be hoping to become the third NDSU alumni on the Eagles roster as he fights for a spot in Training camp.
