Saints 2021 NFL Draft WR prospect: Kadarius Toney – Florida

Kadarius Toney is one of the only ones on this list that went to college all four years before entering the NFL Draft. Toney played all four years as a wideout at the University of Florida totaling 38 collegiate games in his career.

Toney ended his fourth year with 120 total receptions for 1,590 total yards and 12 touchdowns. Ten of those 12 touchdowns also came in his senior year alone. Toney did not start this process as a highly rated receiver, but over the last months has risen to be a potential first-round pick.

His senior year, which was his best season, he had 70 receptions (45 more than his next closest season) for 984 yards (724 more than his next closest season) and 10 touchdowns (nine more than his next closest season).

During his junior year, Toney averaged over 19 yards per catch. He has the ability to make big plays, but he can also cut underneath and be a slot receiver. Toney can really do it all and that is why he has shot up the draft boards.
