Kadarius Toney responds after retirement rumors run wild on social media

Kadarius Toney appeared to respond to internet rumors that he was retiring, which started to surface Thursday evening.

The former Giants first-round draft pick and Florida Gators star was alleged by users on social media to have said during an Instagram Live that he would be retiring from the NFL and wanted to be viewed as a rapper.
