in his prime. I am not saying he will be as good or as durable. However, ridiculous catch radius and the ability to get the ball within five yards and just find space through sheer football ability. I also thought about the mental health issues AB had. Hopefully, we will do right by this talented kid and make sure he thrives here both professionally and personally. Because if we do, we found a stud, maybe we even got paid an extra first round pick to draft later the best WR in the class. Today, is one of the most down days I have felt as a Giants fan, another lost season etc, but this kid is electric.
I would love to see Toney as a PR, but you also have to remember Brown was a 6th round pick so special teams was his initial path to the team. Teams are always more cautious with their 1st round picks.
Shepard and Golladay are not core players? Slayton? Hernandez? Barkley?
Antonio Brown also sat almost his entire rookie year. He didn't come into the league as this elite route runner - that took time.
It will be nearly impossible to duplicate Brown's career, its been incredible outside of all the off field stuff. But Toney definitely has some Brown in his game (that IT factor that's hard to quantify but you know it when you see it).
Ha, this is assuming the other team needs to punt!
unbelievable they got him and an extra first. just hope he can learn a little self preservation.
IDK… he ran a beautiful route to start the second half and busted Trevon Diggs’ ass.
unbelievable they got him and an extra first. just hope he can learn a little self preservation.
Heck I wish the rest of the team would pick up on his fight! We need more dawgs on this team.

And this week confirms that KT is one of our top 3 players on this team. Thomas, Jones and KT. IF Jones can improve for the rest of the season at least we have the 3 core players on offense.
Shepard and Golladay are not core players? Slayton? Hernandez? Barkley?
Absolutely not. Shepard and Golladay can't stay on the field, neither can Barkley. Hernandez is an awful football player, Slayton has shown glimpses but needs to improve. As of right now, no other players on the team has a higher cieling then KT, Jones and Thomas and no other players have shown they are as good as them on this offense.

Golladay hasnt missed a game and whether you like it or not he is part of the future simply because he is signed long term..
I can see some Steve Smith comparisons, but I think Smith had an extra gear on Toney and was a bit more vertically gifted.
This is more accurate. The ability to stop and go/change direction is similar. But I think Toney gets to his to speed quicker. He's got a few gears...
There may a little bit of Tyreke Hill too.
FUCK

I remember Pittsburgh not being afraid to use AB as a punt returner for years and he scored a few TDs on run backs... somebody on this team needs to grow some balls and go for it all. Put KT at PR next week and going forward he's just too elusive and fast to not be used on ST.

Initially yes, but Brown was still the PR after years and years of success... and still breaking games open as a PR.
