The New York Giants’ first-round draft pick in 2021 has made quite the impact in his growing career.
Despite playing only 19 out of 34 games after the trade from New York last season, Tony made impressive statistics of 19 touches for 230 yards and three touchdowns in seven regular-season games, along with an additional eight touches for 64 yards and a score in three postseason games.
Well, the upcoming practices will enable the team’s medical staff and coaches to evaluate Toney’s physical condition, including his strength, mobility, and overall fitness.
These factors will provide vital information on his ability to withstand the demands of high-intensity training and game plans.
