One of the biggest surprises from the 2021 NFL Draft was the New York Giants taking former Florida Gators wide receiver Kadarius Toney with the 20th overall pick. Toney seemed to be the forgotten man at wide receiver, but not for the Giants.
I personally did not expect Toney to go this high, but first-year Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer told ESPN that it “broke his heart” that Toney went 20th overall, as he was going to select him with the 25th overall pick.
