Kadarius Toney will get a “clean slate” heading into his second NFL season, according to rookie New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll.
Toney had an odd rookie season after being selected No. 20 overall by then-GM Dave Gettleman in the 2021 NFL Draft. He missed almost the entire spring and summer due to injuries, COVID-19 and other assorted issues.
Toney missed time twice with COVID-19. Toney had hamstring, quad, shoulder and thumb injuries and played in only 10 of 17 games. He also had a couple of social media missteps, most notably surrounding his support for Henry Ruggs after the former Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver was involved in a fatal car crash.
