In this story:
WYNWOOD, Fla. — There is a time and place for many of the star players to show and highlight why they are the players that everyone believes in.
Malachi Toney has turned into the superstar everyone expected him to be, and other legends wish they had his mentality at such a young age.
It is a common trait that continues to build up the legend of the young superstar receiver, as others continue to take notice.
During an appearance at an historic eatery in South Florida, La Sandwicherie, Miami Hurricanes legend and Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Irvin spoke about Toney and how good he is, highlighting how well he has handled the pressure of being the man at such a young age.

“Malachi Toney is the perfect person for what’s in front of him,” Irvin said. “He’s going to be the Michael Irvin that has a steady climb. I wish I was as mature at that age as Malachi Toney is right now.”
It also shows how well Toney is respected in the locker room and how legends view him. He already has co-signs from current and future hall-of-famers, but it's more than that for the superstar receiver.
Irvin emphasised that even more with is on the field play and mentality.
“I have never seen this dude — hand to God — take off one play,” Irvin said. “I’m not just talking on catching the ball. I’m talking about blocking — and he got that Napoleon complex thing going — he blocks everybody. Hard. He’s a strong dude. Like, don’t get hurt. I need you catching passes. But that’s the champion in him.”
Now, with Toney leading the charge and the future of the Hurricanes, those motives and ideas continue to show that he is a superstar waiting to be a first-round pick in two years. Toney has the heart of a superstar and could go down as the best receiver in program history if he remains on pace.
The co-sign is already there from a player on the Hurricanes' Mount Rushmore; now another season to prove it is nearly here.
