papazoid Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Toone was the 255th and final selection of the 2010 NFL Draft by the Detroit Lions, thus earning the moniker Mr. Irrelevant.[1] On September 4, 2010, Toone was one of the final cuts as Detroit reduced its roster to the 53-man limit. However, the Lions re-signed Toone to their practice squad the next day.[2] Toone was placed on the practice squad's injured reserve due to an undisclosed injury on October 7, 2010.[3] He was re-signed to a future contract on January 5, 2011. Toone was waived during final cuts on September 3, and re-signed to the Lions' practice squad on September 21. The Lions released Toone again on September 27, 2011.

NewEra Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 He's a decent ball players. Great speed and acceleration. Good fit in the slot. He's been compared to Welker, mostly drawing those comparisons due to height. I like the addition as it may lead up to Aiken being promoted.

VanCity Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Sounds like we got a winner! Is he there to replace Kamar when he gets called up? Detroit is deep at WR, but they didn't see enough in him to keep him on the PS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in Atlanta Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) 1. Every single ball went to Tim Toone. The guy's a beast. 2. I was hoping he'd give that ridiculous reporter a wedgie.

And did anyone come off the Practice Squad for Toone? from Chris Brown press release: To make room on the practice squad for Toone, the Bills released DB Brandon Bing. With respect to the 53-man roster I wouldn’t anticipate a move this week. I think the Bills are going to assess their options and how well they fare offensively against the Giants and then go into the bye week and re-assess everything.
