Kadarius Toney, Wide Receiver

Draft Spot: #20 in 2021 NFL Draft. Selected by the NY Giants

Projected Role; Gadget player, a part-time starter

Kadarius Toney enters a crowded receivers room in New York. He won’t come in and be ‘the guy’ immediately like he was at UF.

Toney will have to fight for every rep and will look to steal snaps from the likes of Sterling Shepard, Darius Slayton, and other newcomers such as John Ross.

Toney is a well-versed multidimensional weapon. He will be deployed in a variety of positions where his roles will change at each spot. He is one of the most exciting players on the roster and fans must temper expectations for year one. Toney will come into an offense that is crowded with options at receiver and Toeny will have to showcase his unique talents and create a niche on this offense.
