Professional career
In the sixth round of the 1985 NFL Draft, Bono was selected by the Minnesota Vikings as the 142nd overall pick.
Bono appeared in two games during his first two seasons with the Vikings (1985–1986). He spent third on the depth chart, behind starter Tommy Kramer and his backup Wade Wilson. The Vikings placed Bono on waivers at the end of the 1986 season. He then signed as a free agent for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Bono appeared in five games with the Steelers over two seasons (1987-1988). He made his first NFL appearance against the Atlanta Falcons on October 4, 1987. Bono was granted to become a free agent after the 1988 season.
Bono signed his five-year deal with the San Francisco 49ers on June 13, 1989, his longest stint with one team in his career. Bono served as the 49ers' third-string quarterback, alongside Joe Montana and Steve Young in 1989 and 1990. Bono played six games in 1991, with Montana losing for the season and Steve Young injured mid-season. He started 5-1 as a starter and finished fourth in passer rating behind Young, Jim Kelly, and Mark Rypien. In 1992 and 1993, Bono played backup in front of Young.
The 49ers traded Bono to the Kansas City Chiefs, where he served as a back-up to Montana once more before the 1994 season. Bono became Montana's starting quarterback in 1995 after Montana retired. Bono ran 76 yards for a touchdown in a game against the Arizona Cardinals on October 1, 1995, the longest scoring run by a quarterback in NFL history up to that point. He led the Chiefs to a 13-3 record and a division championship in the same season. He was selected for the AFC Pro Bowl team at the end of the season. Bono was the Chiefs starter through the 1996 season.
Kansas City decided to give Elvis Grbac the starting quarterback job and then named Bono in 1997. Brett Favre, a free agent with the Green Bay Packers, has signed to support him. Bono spent 1998 with the St. Louis Rams, fighting then-starting quarterback Tony Banks for playing time and 1999 backing up Carolina Panthers starting quarterback Steve Beuerlein.
