And the Tar Heel fanboys go crazy!

Wow.  Time has flown...  it seems like it was just yesterday that he took over that game versus State and ran back that punt for a TD.  I know he's had a few injuries, but he has produced when given the touches...  I feel like Cincy always underutilized him.  

I wouldn't mind bringing him in, but being he's a 30 yo RB, I wouldn't bank on him being around after camp, and if he is then that would be a welcomed bonus.

I'll never forget being at that game (surrounded by a ton of UNC friends as a State fan), calling exactly what was about to happen.  As soon as TOB decided to punt, I knew Gio was about to make a house call. Kenan was insane after that play while I sat there pissed at the world. 

As others have said, would rather draft a guy.  If we don't come out of the draft with a RB though, Gio is a nice consolation prize and someone I think can be a poor man's CMC for a year if needed.

If Bonnafon has healed... the guy can do the job and do it well.

Joe Brady must have a vision on how to use McCaffrey and Bernard as two pass catching RB's in the same backfield

Mentioned in another thread, the coaching staff doesn't really seem to be too high on Bonnafon.

Rumors I heard he will sign with the Phins. His dad lives there and doesnt travel, so the only way for him to see his son play is Miami. They need RBs too.

yeah i love this guy. he would be an awesome downhill complement to CMC.

[MHS831]

Do we not have Cannon, Bonnefon, and Rodney Smith?

[Carl Spackler]

I hope we get Marvin Austin and Jesse Holley

[Ivan The Awesome]

I mean, Davis wasn't a spring Chicken and he worked out. Whatever is cheaper to be honest, late round pick or vet min, whatever.

He would bring a good element to our offense and could spell CMC and not lose much production.  He's not as quick as CMC but is a solid veteran but a dual threat like CMC.

He seems like a good dude both on and off he field. Only thing that scares me is his age at this point. I would definitely consider a year contract on the cheap if he is healthy and open to it.
