Chiefs GM shares his thoughts on Kadarius Toney's improvement

Last year, the Kansas City Chiefs decided to make a blockbuster trade with the New York Giants. The AFC West team acquired Kadarius Toney in exchange for a 3rd and a 6th round pick. This move really paid off for the Super Bowl LVII champions.

In just seven games, Toney proved to be a top player. He had 14 receptions for 171yards and two touchdowns. But he's not only a receiver and can also be used on the backfield to move the chains by ground.

"He's predominately been a guy that is a slot receiver, returner, runner, gadget guy if you will but I don't know if there is a limit on his game because he has a vertical game," general manager Brett Veach said about Toney. "I think we seen a little in the regular season Jacksonville game that his time in college, I don't know if they were a team that vertically pushed the ball down the field and his time early on in New York (Giants), I don't know if they were a team that really vertically pushed the ball down the field."

It is true that Toney's health is a matter that worries the team's front office. However, the Chiefs know that he could be Mahomes' best partner if he avoids injuries this season.

"We have a lot of high hopes for him. I mean he was a first-round pick for a reason,"
Veach said. "There's a reason why we traded for him and we felt like he was first-round talent and I think if he stays healthy and continues to spend that chemistry with the coaching staff and with Pat, which I think he is doing a great job at, I think the sky is the limit for him."
