Chiefs Test Kadarius Toney at Running Back After Challenging Season

Kansas City Chiefs experiment with position switch for former first-round pick to enhance offensive versatility.

Kadarius Toney has been taking snaps at running back during training camp, following a season marked by drops and penalties.
Head coach Andy Reid highlights Toney's flexibility and previous positive moments at running back as reasons for the switch.
The Chiefs did not draft any running backs in 2024, opening opportunities for Toney and undrafted players to compete for roster spots.
Toney's performance at wide receiver has been inconsistent, contributing to the team's league-leading 44 dropped passes last season.
Kansas City aims to utilize Toney's multifaceted skills to bolster their offensive strategy and depth at running back.
