Tonyan Returns to Steelers in 85 | Pittsburgh Steelers News

Robert Tonyan, the tight end who made waves with Green Bay wearing number 85, is back in that iconic jersey for the Pittsburgh Steelers — a move that signals his immediate impact and versatility. After briefly donning number 83 during camp, Tonyan’s return to 85 honors his past success and fills a void left by injured Cole Burgess. Signed via minicamp tryout, Tonyan’s connection with Aaron Rodgers led to a breakout 2020 season with 52 catches, 500+ yards, and 11 touchdowns. Now competing behind starters Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington, Tonyan’s proven ability has already earned him snaps and targets from QB Will Howard. His presence adds depth, flexibility, and firepower to Pittsburgh’s offense — making him a key piece in their playoff push.
