Coach Reid lifted the lid on his plan of integrating Toney with the rest of the offense in a press conference. Well, sort of.
HC Andy Reid on Kadarius Toney
The media pressed coach Andy Reid on how he is going to integrate his new wide receiver Kadarius Toney into the Chiefs’ offensive unit. Reid mostly remained tight-lipped and said that they will see how things pan out. Maybe he didn’t want to get into details of his offensive plans publicly.

Reid added that he doesn’t expect Toney to learn everything in a day and his integration would be a gradual process.
“We will see how he fits in. I’m not expecting him to learn the whole offense in a day. I think it’ll be a gradual process going forward even though he is a smart kid. So, I’m sure he’ll pick it up relatively fast,” he said.
The fan reaction
The Chiefs fans are excited to see their newest weapon in action. But they also seem to understand that the coach cannot disclose everything in public. Also, settling into a new city and team takes a bit of time.
