Kadarius Toney, one of four former Florida Gators slated to play in the Super Bowl joining teammates La’Mical Perine, offensive tackle Jawaan Taylor and punter Tommy Townsend, was held out of Kansas City’s AFC Championship Game win over Baltimore for injury and personal reasons, per the team. Toney went on an expletive-laced rant ahead of the game and reports of him being at the center of locker room turmoil have led to questions on his availability. Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce recently voiced his support for Toney.
“I want him to know it’s always love in this building, and I know guys go through things both in this building and in their personal lives,” Kelce said last week. “He just had a baby girl, a beautiful baby girl, so shout out to Kadarius for that one, but I think you know what’s real is what happens in this building and how we can channel that, and I just wanted to make sure he knew that we were all still behind him and ready to go get this Super Bowl.”
