Twitter roasts Kadarius Toney after bizarre assertion at Super Bowl press conference

Fans on Twitter roasted #Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney after he told a reporter he is a No. 1 receiver at a Super Bowl LVIII press conference.

Kadarius Toney’s tenure with the Kansas City Chiefs has had its share of ups and downs, but after his dismal start to the 2023 season, many fans in Western Missouri have lost faith in his ability to be a viable weapon for Patrick Mahomes in Andy Reid’s offense.

Despite his struggles, Toney remains on the Chiefs’ roster ahead of Super Bowl LVIII, and may even see action in Kansas City’s February 11 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.

During Super Bowl opening night on Monday, Toney was asked about his role in the Chiefs’ offense, and whether he could still be the team’s No. 1 option at the wide receiver position.

His response left fans scratching their heads.

“If I get the ball, yeah,” Toney told a reporter when queried about his role.

Twitter wasn’t so convinced that a higher volume of targets would get Toney back on track, and the veteran receiver was roundly roasted for his quote.

Check out some of the top reactions to Toney’s bizarre assertion:

Seahawks receiver Tyler Lockett returns to top form against Panthers

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett has been battling to get back to full health over the last month seeing limited production on gamedays.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett has been battling to get back to full health over the last month seeing limited production on gamedays.

First sidelined with a lower leg injury following the Seahawks Week-10 win in San Francisco, Lockett then succumbed to the flu, logging only five receptions over his last three outings.

Finally healthy for the Week 15 start in Carolina, Lockett once again proved just what he is capable of when feeling 100%.

Lockett started strong on Sunday when he connected with quarterback Russell Wilson for 44 yards in the middle of the first quarter, hauling in an inconceivable catch.

Finishing the day as the Seahawks leading receiver, Lockett managed eight catches on nine targets for 120 yards and a touchdown.

Here’s a look at Lockett’s score in the second quarter on a 19-yard TD pass from Wilson.

After his impressive performance against the Panthers, it’s safe to say the Seahawks No. 1 is 100% back in action and ready to roll, just as his quarterback predicted ahead of the matchup.
