A look at Florida Gators in the NFL including, Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson, and the well-traveled Kadarius Toney who has found a new home.

After being waived by the Kansas City Chiefs in August, former Florida Gators wide receiver Kadarius Toney has finally signed with a team as the NFL’s 2024 season is almost halfway through its first week of play. According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, the Cleveland Browns added Toney to their practice squad on Monday. Toney will be able to ease into the season by starting on the practice squad, and once he gets used to it, he should be promoted to the 53-man roster.

Toney had previously visited the Seattle Seahawks, per Rapoport. His young career in the NFL has been tumultuous to say the least.

A first-round draft pick by the New York Giants in 2021, Toney was traded to the Chiefs midway through his second season. Shades of his collegiate talent was seen in Kansas City’s 38-35 win over the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII.

He recorded a 65-yard punt return, the longest in Super Bowl history, and added a five-yard touchdown reception.

From there, his career took a downward turn as dropped passes and other issues led to his playing time being diminished, and the Chiefs would waive him the following offseason.

Toney’s signing gives him another opportunity to turn his career around while giving the Browns, who lost 33-17 to Dallas on Sunday, another option at receiver.

On the field, plenty of other former Gators in the NFL made plays.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson nearly led a comeback against the Houston Texans. In his return to the field after injuries marred his rookie season, the former fourth overall pick threw for 212 yards and two touchdowns while running for 56 yards and another score in a 29-27 loss to Houston.

Both of Richardson’s touchdown passes came from over 50 yards.

Anthony Richardson, I think he’s from a different planet,” said UF head coach Billy Napier on Monday. “ No, you saw that throw that he made Saturday. That’s a whole different world. Anthony is still a young football player, right? I believe that that guy, the more football he plays the more he’s going to make highlights like that every week.”
