Kadarius Toney WR/ST Florida

STRENGTHS
Kadarius is an offensive weapon. His size, vision, lateral explosion make him unique. Add to that, his natural strength, speed, and eye/hand coordination and you have an offensive weapon who is a match-up nightmare for any defensive back. When he is one on one in the open field he is near impossible to bring down after he catches the ball. He has the strength of a running back with the skills to catch the ball and run the routes of a wide receiver. Kadarius has a high football IQ and he is still learning. He doesn’t take the big hit when you go to tackle him because I swear, he can move his eyes 360 degrees like a chameleon. In the open field, he has the speed and route-running ability to score. In the red zone, he has the quickness to run any route and get open to score. On special teams, he has the sure hands and quickness to make the first man miss and the speed to bring it to the house. Like I stated before, Kadarius is an offensive weapon with 360-degree chameleon-like eyes that make him a receiving nightmare.

CONCERNS
There will be people who will nit-pick him because of his size or because he doesn’t run wide receiver routes and is just a slot receiver. Those people are attached to the teams always selecting in the top ten of a draft.

BOTTOM LINE 1.42
When Christian McCaffrey came out I said he was a weapon that should be used all over the field and not just as a running back. I believe that to this day. I’m telling you now, you select this kid and use him all over the field and he will impact more than if you try to make him one dimensional. He’s a weapon and yes, he can play a lot of positions but to expect him to be your franchise wide receiver will allow the sideline to help defenders defend him and that is not, what you want to do. You want Kadarius in the open field and in the middle of the field so that he can use the whole field with his 360-degree chameleon-like eyes, to make plays. You want him in the slot, as your move receiver, on the outside, in the backfield just all over your offense from play to play, disguising himself as a chameleon. You have to keep players like Kadarius healthy because when they get hurt you have no one that has their abilities sitting on your bench. That’s why you move them around, to help keep them from targeted injuries. I’m not suggesting Kadarius is not stout enough to play just one position and impact playing that position. I am suggesting to gain the advantage of ALL of his talents to impact on any given play, you move him around your offense so he can disguise himself and use his chameleon-like eyes to his benefit and stay healthy.
