And when you're looking at the bottom 5-8 spots on a roster, I'm guessing some of it really does come down to "I like that guy". And it's easy to see why Toney would be hard to like.
So you joke, but shit man, "Skyy has a great smile" MAY just be the reason he's on the roster. The coaches like the guy as he's sitting there with a big grin after spending an entire meeting taking notes, making good eye contact and looking really engaged.
He LOOKS the part of someone you want to succeed.
Then comes gameday and it all just disappears.
But man, "Skyy has a great smile" is as close to a sensible reason as actually exists for him to be on an NFL roster at this point. He's done everything possible to lose the job and has blown MASSIVE opportunities in his first two seasons. So what else is left?

This is what I figured with Clyde. I was watching some superbowl celebration videos and players clearly love the hell out of him and he seems like a guy people like having around. Hes like a big brother to guys like Pacheco and a little brother to guys like Kelce. And the Chiefs media and social media people clearly like him. I bet he has the same effect on coaches and FO.
I guess if you can't produce, you might as well be the most friendly guy and overall good guy to be around. It works in regular life so why wouldn't it work in football.
