Kadarius Toney blows away Travis Kelce

Travis Kelce spoke about Kadarius Toney on his weekly podcast, ‘New Heights’ with his brother Jason. Jason asked Travis about Toney and what kind of person and athlete he is. Kelce said that when he first met him, he was blown away.“Honestly, I was blown away by how professional he was. I mean when you get a trade like that you think something that you have to weigh out or something is missing,” Kelce said.

He added that Toney has a lot of confidence in himself and is a very smart athlete.“Ever since this man has been in the building, it has been like, ‘man this dude is smart. Man, this dude is crazy athletic. Man, this dude has a lot of confidence’. When you have a lot of confidence, you understand what’s going on there,” the 2020 Super Bowl champion said.

Kelce narrated a few stories about Toney’s punt reception, and it certainly looks like Patrick Mahomes and Co have got a new superweapon in the offense. Toney certainly has an admirer in the Chiefs’ locker room.
