Former New York Giants general manager Dave Gettleman was known above all for being impulsive, which is the primary reason the Giants eventually moved on from him. Now, the 6-1 G-Men are cooking with new GM Joe Schoen and head coach/offensive mastermind Brian Daboll.
But one of Gettleman’s more impulsive moves was not able to make the transition, and that’s receiver Kadarius Toney, who Gettleman took with the 20th overall pick in the first round out of Florida. The idea with Toney was that he would use his amazing abilities in space to help quarterback Daniel Jones, but that didn’t happen enough in 2021, and it’s barely happened at all in 2022. Toney hasn’t played since Week 2 as he recovers from a hamstring injury, and on the season, he’s caught two passes on three targets for zero yards, and he’s run the ball twice for 23 yards. In his rookie season, Toney caught 39 passes on 57 targets for 420 yards and no touchdowns, adding three rushing attempts for six yards.
