Last season, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney earned a lot of criticism from fans as a result of some crucial mistakes in key moments throughout the season. When he was not involved in the offense much down the stretch, many expected that the team would be parting ways with him after the season. But it sounds like the team has decided to keep him on the roster for another season.
During a recent interview, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Brett Veach had some pretty high praise for Kadarius Toney as he made it clear that the team has never given up on him and does not want to part ways with him.
“I know Kadarius has obviously had a long history of injury issues but he is probably our most talented wideout,” Veach said on Friday. “Again, it doesn’t do anyone any good unless you stay healthy, but the kid has always worked hard here for us and I know he’s been down there with Pat and I think it’s just a matter of him staying healthy. If he can do that, he can really do a lot of great things in this offense.
“That’s one of the things — there’s a lot of speculation about KT, but I don’t think we ever stopped believing in him. I think people around the building like him. It’s the injury bug, hopefully he gets some luck on his side and can stay healthy and can be the player that he was in Florida and the player that we’ve seen in spurts here. [I’m] just hoping he has a good offseason and has a little luck on his side and can stay healthy.”
Obviously, these comments led to a lot of reactions on social media.

We’ll have to see how Toney performs this season.
