As training camp for all 32 NFL teams continues to ramp up, a lot about a team’s roster can be revealed.

Whether it’s a surprise rookie set to make a bigger impact than initially thought or a seasoned veteran being on the fringe of roster cuts.

In this particular case, fourth-year receiver Kadarius Toney has emerged as a strong-cut candidate for the Kansas City Chiefs ahead of the regular season.

When the first unofficial depth chart was released, the biggest headline was that Toney had been bumped down to fifth-string wide receiver.

Of course, this is unofficial and could mean nothing, but the Chiefs have made it obvious that Toney will need to start making changes if he wants to stay with the team, as he’s been getting practice reps at running back.

Last year, he was particularly disappointing in a very productive passing offense, securing just 169 receiving yards and only one touchdown playing in 13 games.

Now, just a few years after trading a third and sixth-round pick to acquire Tioney from the Giants, the Chiefs will think long and hard about his future with the team.

Kadarius Toney Receives Training Camp Reps At Running Back

In the first few days of training camp, it became clear that the Chiefs value Toney’s athleticism and wanted to do whatever it takes to keep him on the roster.

That’s why, in the first few practices, he was filmed taking practice reps from running back.

Between his college and NFL career, Toney has just 32 carries for 150 yards and doesn’t really have the build of a prototypical running back. At 6’0″ and 194 lbs., he would be one of the more undersized backs in the league.

Of course, this now raises the question of whether a position change would be sustainable.
