He's much faster than Dante Hall, accelerates quicker and he's an actual receiver.
He's shiftier than Percy Harvin. Different sort of build. Harvin was more of a one cut, straight line kind of guy.
He's nothing like Tyreek...
I mean....not really many good comparisons out there.

I do keep coming back to DeSean Jackson.
Jackson was a monster in space. It feels like a lazy comparison due to the Andy Reid connection, but I can't come up with anyone else better.
Here's my biggest worry - by FAR. This passing game is hugely dependent on timing. And Toney does some weird shit in his routes. He cuts off the wrong leg. He throws in a dead leg or some weird hesi step to get DBs off balance. He does one extra juke than seems necessary.
I don't know how a QB can possibly throw to a spot with him because there's seemingly no consistency to when or how he throws those moves in there.
I can't figure out how him and Mahomes can get their timing synched up. So I think for pretty much this entire season, he'll need to be a guy who's schemed into space as a 3rd read when a play breaks down, someone who has designed quick hitters and someone who acts as a decoy.
I just don't think there's a chance we get him dialed into the timing of this offense on the fly. He's just so different in how he moves out there.
