The long and winding road for former Notre Dame defensive end Jonathan Bonner has taken him to Miami.
Bonner, who nearly left Notre Dame after his senior year to pursue a career in IT, decided to come back for his fifth year and helped wreak havoc on the defensive line alongside Jerry Tillery in 2018.
Despite the stellar campaign, Bonner went undrafted in the 2019 NFL Draft. He was quickly picked up by the Redskins however, and played well for them in the preseason before getting cut.
Now, Bonner has been signed to the practice squad of the Miami Dolphins, keeping his NFL dream alive, at least for the time being.
While it won’t be easy to crack the 53-man roster, Miami might very well be the best case scenario for Bonner to make his NFL debut at some point in the final few weeks of the season.
Bonner recorded 64 combined tackles and two sacks with the Irish from 2015-2018.
