At last year’s Super Bowl, a seemingly chastened Kadarius Toney said he was just grateful to be there.
“God’s got a plan,” he said.
Apparently, it does not call for Toney to realize how good he has it.
Toney is back at the Super Bowl this week, having hitched another ride on the Patrick Mahomes Express. Whether he’ll play is an open question.
And if Toney does get in Sunday’s game against the 49ers, his chance at a ready-made NFL career will have been officially squandered. What would it take for Kansas City to keep him around?
At the very least, Toney would refrain from calling his bosses a bunch of liars in an X-rated Instagram post. Assuming he could resist that urge, maybe a 200-yard receiving game would buy him some more grace.
“I just want him to know it’s always love in this building,” Travis Kelce said before KC departed for Las Vegas.
And I just wish somebody or something would shake some sense into Toney. Most Florida fans probably feel the same way.
When an ex-Gator makes the Super Bowl, it’s usually a source of pride. With Toney, it’s a source of bewilderment.
