Does Malachi Toney move outside next year?

Nah… he’s rarely if ever is going to get a team best cover person lining up in the slot because college CBs don’t do a lot of trailing/following. You can be way more creative with him being primarily a slot which was we’ve been doing lately.

Those wheel routes from the backfield and the slot have been deadly for us. Mismatch in our favor every time

I don’t think so. He doesn’t have the size to go up for the jump balls doesn’t have top end speed IMO. He runs terrific routes in the slot and can get open quickly and I think that is where he will continue to excel.

you don't have to have size to be the 1........ depends how your offense is designed plenty of nfl teams don't have 6'5'' #1s one of them is in miami. kc baltimore etc.

if your OC has a brain "small" WR work outside.

Maybe....but he works just fine in the slot. No reason at to change that next year.

First of all his name is Malachi Toney. Secondly, how many more positions does he need to play? He’s been a slot receiver, QB, direct snap in the backfield, and punt returner. Maybe LT? DE? Punter?

Good catch, originally had Toney only, then added his last name in the wrong place. I could not figure out why something looked off…lol

Moving him around would make it impossible to game plan for was my thought process. Possibly being a version of Santana Moss.

Do you move him outside and allow him to be your number 1? Personally I think he is capable of being our number 1.

No- As a slot he should be the focus on shallow, y-cross, y-sail, and the slide guy on stick. Nasty switch/wheel player as we've seen. Smart option route player so for calls like 6 he can easily break off the routes and find space.

Slot also gives him the chance to move around in motion, jet sweep, etc.

He was moved around a lot this season. Almost always in motion. Jet sweeps. Throwing TD’s. Catching TD’s. Punt returns. Direct snap runs. I just don’t know how much more there is for him to do.
