Kadarius Toney’s tenure with the Kansas City Chiefs has had its share of ups and downs, but after his dismal start to the 2023 season, many fans in Western Missouri have lost faith in his ability to be a viable weapon for Patrick Mahomes in Andy Reid’s offense.
Despite his struggles, Toney remains on the Chiefs’ roster ahead of Super Bowl LVIII, and may even see action in Kansas City’s February 11 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.
During Super Bowl opening night on Monday, Toney was asked about his role in the Chiefs’ offense, and whether he could still be the team’s No. 1 option at the wide receiver position.
His response left fans scratching their heads.

“If I get the ball, yeah,” Toney told a reporter when queried about his role.
Twitter wasn’t so convinced that a higher volume of targets would get Toney back on track, and the veteran receiver was roundly roasted for his quote.
Check out some of the top reactions to Toney’s bizarre assertion:
“Be reliable or go to the moon”

Kadarius Toney complains about his team, argues with the fanbase, and does more with his rap career than he does trying to succeed in the NFL. https://t.co/ebHqCU5eoR
