Alan Bonner WR released by the Texans.

15 TDs in his senior year: 5'10" 193 lbs.

Only average speed in the 40 but 1.57 in 10 yds. Beckham and Cruz at 1.56 in 10 yds. So, Bonner only a tick slower. Might have some separation ability to catch curls, slants or other short to medium range passes..

Worth a look?

who didn't have a team at the start of training camp in his rookie year. Those stories occasionally happen.

That said. I don't think we need a thread started for every one of these guys.

Of all positions, why WR?

what other WR makes the team?

Manningham, if he's healthy. Marcus Harris seems to be showing consistency. But who else?

IMO cut WRs on the team who are not showing much and bring in someone else. What caught my eye about Bonner was 15 TDs as a senior and his quickness in the first 10 yds.
