A first-round pick out of Wisconsin in 1985, Toon quickly became a fixture in the Jets’ passing game. After rewriting the receiving record books for the Badgers (and earning a pair of first-team All-Big Ten nods), Toon made eight starts as a rookie for the Jets, catching 46 passes for 662 yards and three touchdowns. He notched in first 1,000-yard season the following year, hauling in 85 receptions for a career-high 1,176 yards and eight scores (also a career-high), earning him first-team All-Pro honors.
Toon led the NFL with 93 receptions in 1986, topping 1,000 yards receiving for the second and final time of his career.
