floridacorn Posted April 2, 2024 Share Posted April 2, 2024 Interesting that Bonner is switching back to WR. Not surprised because he wasn't utilized as a mismatch out of the backfield and there are more natural lead blockers at FB, but that seems like quite a physical transformation to yo yo between over the course of 12 months. Hugh Green & Leroy Selmon were 2 of my favorite players growing up, they wore 53 & 63, but I was a WR/DB growing up so I always wore 13 or 23. By the time I got to HS, everybody wanted 23 because of MJ, and I wore 43 through HS & college as a SS. It was more important to me than it should have been. lol Quote Link to comment https://www.huskerboard.com/index.php?/topic/102224-new-player-numbers/page/2/#findComment-2644358

Yeah, I noticed that as well and I think it's a good sign. I still like him as an H-Back type, but it's in everyone's best interest to make sure he develops WR skills and isn't just an unusually athletic FB who we only use for a handful of snaps per game. I would think the year at FB gave him enough of a foundation that he can focus on WR and still play FB in certain packages. I don't think the reverse (working mostly at FB and then playing WR) works. The good news is I don't think they put a ton of bad weight on him to play FB, physically he looks like Quincy Enunwa and that will play at WR and as a light situational FB. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.huskerboard.com/index.php?/topic/102224-new-player-numbers/page/2/#findComment-2644425

Had to wear 39 my freshman year of college because 16 was taken. I also asked for 8 (half of 16) but was also taken. Wore 16 for 3 seasons as a safety just like Joe Montana That's awesome ! Wore 19 in HS (FB) Wore 14 in HS (hoops). It's my 2nd favorite number. Wore 18 in HS (Baseball). It's my favorite number. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.huskerboard.com/index.php?/topic/102224-new-player-numbers/page/2/#findComment-2644537
Decked Posted April 3, 2024 Share Posted April 3, 2024 Bonner seems like a guy who would be a good spring process. Not sure he has the speed to be a WR & there are a lot of guys ahead of him now. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.huskerboard.com/index.php?/topic/102224-new-player-numbers/page/2/#findComment-2644555

Bonner ran a 4.38 at an Arkansas Camp in high school, Not sure if he still has that kind of speed but awesome to see him being willing to make a huge position switch to FB to help the team and stick with it the past few years! 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.huskerboard.com/index.php?/topic/102224-new-player-numbers/page/2/#findComment-2644649

I'm going to preface this by saying that I am a fan of Janiran Bonner as a football player but the only way that he realistically hit 4.38 is if they were running the 37-yard dash. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.huskerboard.com/index.php?/topic/102224-new-player-numbers/page/2/#findComment-2644660

Stumpy1 Posted April 3, 2024 Share Posted April 3, 2024 People also need to realize that these times ran in camps are without pads and in near perfect conditions. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.huskerboard.com/index.php?/topic/102224-new-player-numbers/page/2/#findComment-2644673
