The ballad of Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney is well-known by now in both Kansas City and New York.
Toney, a cornerstone of Florida’s fleeting success under coach Dan Mullen, was picked 20th overall by the Giants in the 2021 draft. However, New York largely left him to languish on the bench, and he ended his Giants career with just 420 receiving yards in 12 games across two seasons.
On Oct. 27, New York dealt him to the Chiefs for third- and sixth-round picks. The result: two receiving touchdowns in the regular season, a touchdown in his team’s 38–35 victory in Super Bowl LVII over the Eagles, and the longest punt return in the game's history.
