Freshman wide receiver Malachi Toney is about to play the biggest game of his life so far, as he tries to get the Miami Hurricanes into the second round of the College Football Playoffs. He has done well as one of Carson Beck’s favorite targets despite still being a freshman, but what many do not know is that Toney has a very strong pedigree.
Who are Malachi Toney’s Parents?
His mother is a US Postal Service worker named Toni Toney, and she practically raised him as a single mother. His dad, however, is much more famous, but not who many people might associate with the name, as his dad is named Antonio Brown, but not the NFL legend. His dad did play football, though, as he previously played for West Virginia before getting an NFL career, playing for both the Buffalo Bills and the then-Washington Redskins.
His father, Antonio Brown, was a special teams player, a punt returner to be exact, with 1,551 kick return yards and 263 punt return yards during his three-year NFL career. Brown, not to be confused with the more famous NFL champion with the same name, also played up north in Canada, for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
As for his mom, she has a close bond with Malachi Toney, with the freshman wide receiver showering her with gifts as soon as he received his NIL money. His mom is a constant presence in his games, with Malachi often talking about her in interviews. He does not talk about his former NFL player father that much, however.
Is Malachi Toney Related to Kadarius Toney?
While he is related to the NFL’s original Antonio Brown, many have speculated that Malachi Toney is also related to former Giants, Chiefs and Browns wide receiver Kadarius Toney. Many have speculated that they are brothers, but the truth is, they are not related at all.
Kadarius Toney is actually the youngest of seven children, with his father being a Navy veteran named Dana, and his mother, Angela, worked at Huntington Ingalls. This means that the two may share the same family name, but are not related.
