KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Kansas City Chiefs’ interest in wide receiver Kadarius Toney goes back well before they acquired him in a trade last season with the New York Giants. They were hopeful he would fall to them in the 2021 draft and then tried to trade for him last spring before finally getting him out of New York last fall.
It’s no surprise then that the Chiefs believe Toney is first in line to be their next No. 1 wide receiver.
“He’s predominately been a guy that is a slot receiver, returner, runner -- a gadget guy, if you will -- but I don’t know if there is a limit on his game because he has a vertical game,’’ Chiefs general manager Brett Veach said.
