Dave on the UWS : 5/2/2021 1:46 pm : link
I imagine he will be back in school during the week.
They could also be remote I suppose  
Bill L : 5/2/2021 1:47 pm : link
And it’s probably coming up on graduation for some
That is great

Dude I don’t care if it’s GD Monday morning. If I were just drafted by professional sports team, I’m taking a day off from school and flying out for orientation.
It’s awesome to see these videos.

I assume he can keep #1 now with the new NFL Jersey Rules?
Nice!  
US1 Giants : 5/2/2021 1:57 pm : link
Wonder what number he will have under the new rules for numbers. 1 and 4 are retired.

Love this kid's

personality. A real gregarious and happy person. I think he will be a positive presence in the locker room. I love seeing him checking out all the Giant gear, like a happy kid in the candy store.
I will be seeing K Toney tomorrow

Our daughter graduates from U of F tomorrow and we will be driving up to Gainesville for the ceremony. It will be interesting to see what kind of applause the Yung Joka gets.

at the Trophy case: "I need one of these". How about two or three!!
If the video is accurate, the Giants have unretired the #1 jersey  
Marty in Albany : 5/2/2021 2:25 pm : link
worn Ray Flaherty. I'm okay with that. I just hope that Toney gives the Giants reasons to retire it again in honor of both players.

First round pick for any team often has #1 before his number is retired. Would be surprised but pleased if the Giants unretired #1.

Is said to have arrived smoother in Philly, doing his paperwork with polished handwriting and burst, and he had studied all the halls in the building already.

No doubt. It starts with blowing off studying over the weekend you get drafted to play professional football, then before long he’s Tony Montana

A bit of chills there...

While I never wanted to be an athlete, I would so love to get hired into that facility and get to take a walk like that. Wow.

Ok, Kadarius... first thing to know, do NOT read your own press! Especially the local press! Just put it down!
Most colleges are done  
X : 5/2/2021 3:33 pm : link
My daughter was at FSU and graduated last week. Spring Break was canceled so they could get out earlier because of Covid.
purpose of college  
bc4life : 5/2/2021 3:41 pm : link
in large part, is to make money to support yourself - mission accomplished
"i know just where im wanted at"

You love to see it...  
SleepyOwl : 5/2/2021 4:19 pm : link
Comes in and gets himself further acquainted with coach and the facility. Definitely rooting for this kid.

FSU did not have Spring Break and finished last week(my daughter). UF had Spring Break and should be finished this week.
Thanks for posting that, Eric.

Young man looks excited to be a Giant! That's great to see!

Keep your sh!t together Mr. Toney!
I could really see him being a fan favorite…  
Sean : 5/2/2021 5:03 pm : link
just seems like an overall happy guy who loves playing football. Excited about his potential.

It s likely any degree has been put on hold. Kids that get drafted in the first round more than likely made their chosen profession the priority while in school

Im pretty sure every team gives their 1st rounder a jersey with 1 on it to signify the moment. Its meant to be a souvenir.


Btw, I hate the new number rules.

Interesting he keeps repeating the "they took a chance on me" line.

Did you order the #1 jersey? I saw they were selling that. Or did you pre-order whatever his jersey WILL be? It was honestly all very confusing trying to figure out what was for sale exactly on the sites I was looking at lol
