2) What will Kadarius Toney’s role be as a rookie?

Suddenly, the NY Giants’ receiving corps is a talented crowd of starting caliber players, and arguably one of the 10 most gifted in the NFL.

That could make it a bit tricky for first-round pick Kadarius Toney to get on the field as a rookie.

Now, when the NY Giants are in four and five-wide receiver sets, Toney obviously will be on the field with some combination of Kenny Golladay, Darius Slayton, and Sterling Shepard.

But, where does Toney fit best? At what point does Toney’s speed, athleticism, and versatility push him pas Shepard or Slayton in the receiver hierarchy?

One area to watch for Toney in his first NFL season, is in the return game, after the former Florida Gator spent much of this week’s mandatory minicamp as one of the first punt returners up during special teams drills.
