Michael Irvin identifies Miami receiver Malachi Toney as greatest prospect

Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Irvin has identified University of Miami wide receiver Malachi Toney as the greatest wide receiver he has ever seen. Irvin offered this assessment following Toney’s performance in the season opener against Stanford, where the receiver recorded 234 receiving yards on 12 receptions with three touchdowns. Toney’s output in the contest established a new single-game record for receiving yards at the university, surpassing a mark previously held by Eddie Brown for 42 years. Irvin lauded Toney’s patience and timing, noting that he believes the player will continue to improve as his career progresses. Toney is expected to continue his campaign with the Miami program during their upcoming game against the Florida A&M Rattlers. The praise from the NFL Hall of Famer marks a significant level of attention for the young player as the college football season continues.
