Over the last several seasons, the Kansas City Chiefs have been able to be one of the best teams in the NFL without having a true No. 1 wide receiver. Of course, the fact that they have future Pro Football Hall of Fame tight end Travis Kelce has lessened the need for a top-tier wideout. With that being said, quarterback Patrick Mahomes has the led the offense to high levels of success without the stereotypical number one wide receiver.
Instead, the Chiefs have found high levels of success with the likes of Mecole Hardman, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and (to a far less degree) Kadarius Toney.
Toney, of course, was a former first-round pick of the New York Giants. However, he never reached his potential in New York and was traded to the Chiefs midway through the 2021 season.
Again, though, Toney never lived up to his potential. His time in Kansas City was marred with dropped passes and incomprehensible penalties that left many fans scratching their heads.
Toney spent the 2024 season with the Cleveland Browns, but appeared in just three games and recorded no catches. He was targeted just once.
The former first-round pick and Super Bowl champion is on a new career in music, and as a result, there was chatter that he is retiring.
However, Toney announced in an Instagram story that he is not retiring from the NFL. He said that his Instagram Live was for “klout.” That said, he’s not upset with the retirement talk. He likes the extra attention for his music.
Toney has just 82 receptions for 760 yards and three touchdowns in four seasons.
