Kadarius Toney has shown Smith-Schuster and the Chiefs offense why he was not the problem in New York
Following an amazing performance in the Super Bowl, Kadarius Toney has proved his mettle in the Chiefs’ new offense. Toney’s Super Bowl display prompted teammate JuJu Smith-Schuster to make comments on why the Giants were so foolish for letting him go, according to PFT.
With Toney’s big performance in the Super Bowl and a solid contribution to the regular season, Smith-Schuster praised his teammate. Smith-Schuster also seemed confused on why the Giants exactly traded Toney.
“I don’t know what the Giants were doing with Kadarius Toney, but he’s a dog,” Smith-Schuster said, via PFT. “Brett Veach and Andy Reid know how to pick and choose who to go get and who will fit in with this team. The hard part with him is trying to block for him, he’s like a rubber band. He just jukes so many times that it’s hard to block for him, but as you can see his punt return set us up big to put points on the board.”
The New York Giants selected Toney with the 20th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. With the Giants, Toney didn’t see much success, to say the least.
In two years with the Giants, Toney had only 420 yards receiving and no touchdowns. While in Kansas City, Toney has had five total touchdowns in only 10 games. In the Super Bowl, Toney had a 65-yard punt return to help set up the Chiefs for a score and recorded a receiving touchdown.
The Chiefs traded for Toney in the middle of the 2022 season. Kansas City sent New York a 2023 third-round compensatory pick and a 2023 sixth-round pick for the former Florida Gator.
