Kadarius Toney selected in the first round of the NFL Draft
The second dynamic playmaker from Florida has been selected in the 2021 NFL Draft as Kadarius Toney has come off the board. Toney’s selection comes after Kyle Pitts was drafted near the very top of the draft.
Toney was selected No. 20 overall by the New York Giants.
Toney’s ascension into the first round comes after racking up 2,170 yards of total offense and 14 touchdowns for the Gators — he had 1,590 receiving yards and 580 rushing yards during his time in Gainesville.
In addition to his dominance at receiver and running back, Toney also contributed to Florida’s special teams as a kick returner (he had 28 total returns for 471 yards and a touchdown) and occasionally as a passer — he completed three of six passes for 82 yards and a touchdown during his college career.
According to Florida, Toney was one of only six SEC players with 11 total touchdowns in 2020 and just one of three FBS players with a rushing, receiving and punt return touchdown.
Now he’ll be taking his multifaceted skillset to the NFL doing damage all over the field at the game’s highest level.
A good get for the Giants. He can test defenses, create plays and open things up for the running game. NY football just got a lot more interesting.
yeah, but they’ll have several years before that happens….if it happens. toney was basically mia in gainseville his first 3 years.
Georgia is MIA in this draft
ha! like that.
i recognize that i tossed some shade at toney, but his durability, if that’s all it is, is a question mark.
If a receiver doesn’t play for several years after the draft, they ain’t gonna
Not too many of Kirby’s boys getting any first round love. Seems like signing with Kirby is a big mistake!
He certainly was not missing in action vs UGA and Bama in 2020. And it only takes one great year to make an offensive player in college a high draft pick…examples being Wilson, Lance, Smith, and many others in the draft so far this year…including Toney who has unique playmaking skills both running and receiving the ball. And returning punts.
He has a LOT of potential. The Giants needed a receiver and Toney is a good one. Moore would have been a good one too.
Whoever gets moore is getting a steal at this point
Character and how college players handle themselves on and off the field matters to most NFL teams. Moore still has a lot to prove in those categories and why he dropped out of the first round…because his talent is first round deserving.
I wasn’t aware of character issues
I guess the bulldog kissing celebration incident is what he’s hunting at.
Fake peeing in the eon the football after scoring a TD that costs your team a win is character related. But like Toney, he has worked to overcome his personal mistakes…like I hope Marco Wilson is doing.
WHERE WAS ALL THOSE 5 STAR PLAYERS FROM GEORGIA KIRBY SMART DEVELOPED??? MULLEN DEVELOPED A 3* and 4* INTO FIRST ROUNDERS!!!
THEY WAS STILL BE IN ATHENS, 15 OF THE 20 ARE. THEN THERE WAS IS 3 HAVE BEEN DRAFTED ALREADY AND THEN THERE WAS IS THE OTHER TWO IS GONNA BE DRAFTED SOON…for inquiring minds like yours, you’re welcome
Kirby gets a 5 star drafted in the 3rd round
Mullen gets a 3 star drafted in the first
The day that Kirby can’t collect an army of 5 star players is the day UGA falls off the map. He needs the 5 star army just to stay relevant.
And yet……1980
If Mullet gets “ANYONE” drafted in the first round…of course it’s going to be a 3*, it works that way when that is all you can recruit. For example I’d be willing to bet that if a team like North Dakota St got anyone drafted in the 1st round he would probabl y be a 2*. Hey, speaking of ND St, Trey Lance went ahead of both Pitts and Toney didn’t he? I hear he was the 2325th ranked player in the nation and from my aforementioned ND St (not to be confused with the ND State that just passed FLORIDA on the all time football wins list, oh wait, yes it is the same ND State)…I guess compared to ND State, both Kirby and Mullet are HUGE UNDERACHIEVERS, yes Cojones? 1906
@LEGHUMPERU THANKS FOR “WAS IS” MAKING MY “WAS IS” POINT EVEN CLEARER IDIOT!!!
Trey Lance…North Dakota State, the QB for that team that just passed y’all on the All Time win list and was drafted ahead of Pitts and Toney says you was is welcome Lilpo…
