New York Jets

[edit]

2013 season

[edit]

The New York Jets selected Bohanon in the seventh round (215th overall) of the 2013 NFL draft.[10][11][12] He was the last of three fullbacks selected in 2013, behind Harvard's Kyle Juszczyk and Kansas State's Braden Wilson.[13]

On May 10, 2013, the Jets signed Bohanon to four-year, $2.22 million contract that includes a signing bonus of $62,248.[14]

Throughout training camp, Bohanon competed against Lex Hilliard for the job as the starting fullback that was left vacant following the departure of John Conner.[15] Head coach Rex Ryan named Bohanon the starting fullback to begin the regular season.[16]

The Jets finished the season with an 8–8 record despite not making the playoffs.[17] Bohanon finished with 17 carries for 62 yards as well as 11 receptions for 69 yards. He also returned one kickoff for 15 yards. Bohanon gave the Jets a reliable receiver out of the backfield and a good short yardage back.[18]

2014 season

[edit]

In Week 4 against the Detroit Lions, Bohanon suffered a broken collar bone, which required surgery, and was placed in injured reserve for the remainder of the 2014 year. In four games, Bohanon rushed for three yards and recorded 30 receiving yards.[19]

2015 season

[edit]

Bohanon was the starting fullback for the Jets in 2015. He finished with four receptions for 56 receiving yards. He was the lead blocker to help Chris Ivory become the AFC's leading rusher with 1,070 rushing yards.[20][21][22]

On September 3, 2016, Bohanon was released by the Jets as part of final roster cuts.[23]

Jacksonville Jaguars

[edit]

On April 17, 2017, the Jacksonville Jaguars signed Bohanon to a two-year, $1.48 million contract, reuniting him with former Jets' teammate Chris Ivory.[14][24] On September 10, in the 29–7 season opening victory over the Houston Texans, Bohanon recorded his first career touchdown on a one-yard pass from quarterback Blake Bortles.[25]

On December 17, in the 45–7 victory over the Houston Texans, Bohanon recorded two rushing touchdowns, taking the ball in each time from the one-yard line.[26] He finished the 2017 season with six receptions for 43 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown to go along with five carries for five rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns.[27] The Jaguars won the AFC South and made the playoffs.[28] After a 10–3 victory over the Buffalo Bills in the Wild Card Round, he had a 14-yard receiving touchdown in the 45–42 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Divisional Round.[29][30] In the AFC Championship, he had a 20-yard reception in the 24–20 loss to the New England Patriots.[31]
