Former Giants First-Round Pick Arrested on Two Charges: Reports

Former New York Giants first-round pick Kadarius Toney has been arrested on two charges, according to multiple reports.

The 25-year-old wide receiver, currently with the Kansas City Chiefs, was taken into custody in Florida. Records indicate that Toney faces charges of *aggravated assault with a firearm* and *unlawful carrying of a concealed weapon*.

Details surrounding the incident remain limited, but authorities confirmed the arrest took place over the weekend. Toney has since been released on bond as the legal process unfolds.

Toney was drafted 20th overall by the Giants in the 2021 NFL Draft. However, his time in New York was marred by injuries and off-field issues. He was traded to the Chiefs in 2022, where he played a key role in their Super Bowl LVII victory, even scoring a touchdown in the championship game.

Despite flashes of brilliance, Toney’s NFL career has been inconsistent, with further injury struggles and questions about his commitment surfacing in Kansas City.  Both the Chiefs and the NFL have acknowledged the situation but have declined to comment further as the legal proceedings are ongoing.

Fans have expressed disappointment, with some questioning whether this latest incident could jeopardize Toney’s future in the league.  Toney is expected to appear in court in the coming weeks as the investigation continues.
