Kansas City Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney hit the practice field for the first time on Wednesday, but the team had an idea about the type of player he was well before that. The team first broached the subject of a trade for Toney in the offseason, but they also showed interest in the player when he was coming out of the University of Florida in the 2021 NFL draft.
“Obviously, he came out a couple of years ago, so we had an opportunity to see him because he was one of the higher-rated receivers coming out during that time,” Chiefs OC Eric Bieniemy said on Thursday. “So we had an idea of who he was as a player. And so, that’s the beauty of it. Obviously, the kid is a very talented kid. For whatever reason, it didn’t work out in New York (Giants). Sometimes a change in address is good for a number of reasons. So, we’re hoping that a change of address is good for this kid.”
