Toney will provide more versatility to the Giants’ offense

Toney will bring a variety of benefits to the Giants’ offense.

Along with returning kicks and punts (taking one punt return for a touchdown), Toney will be used all over the Giants’ offense. At 6’0, 193 pounds, he’s an ideal fit for the quick passing game and timing patterns the Giants will use plenty of in 2021.

Toney can catch bubble screens, run reverses, he can throw the ball, and he’ll catch passes all over the field. Expect Jason Garrett to use Kadarius in slants, out routes, wheels, posts, and taking guys over the top.

A creative receiver who wins in a variety of ways, Toney will be a versatile weapon for Daniel Jones in the vertical game. Toney is fantastic in the open field using his elusiveness to make guys look silly in 1 on 1 situations.
