The three-time Pro Bowl selectee played his entire NFL career with the Jets from 1985 to 1992, leading his team and the league in receptions during the late 1980s.

Toon is one of three Newport News Peninsula District athletes to surpass 50 feet in the triple jump, which he did three times.

Toon used that jumping ability as a wide receiver on Menchville High School's football team.

[9][10] His large stature in physicality and prowess as a blocker made him a suitable target on a variety of tough assignments for catches.

The following 1988 season, he caught a league high 93 passes for 1,067 yards and five touchdowns while being named to the Pro Bowl and an All-Pro.

Toon suffered a concussion against the Denver Broncos after a hit by Michael Brooks on November 8 during a reception that he caught, which went for eight yards while making it 101 straight games with at least one catch as a player.

[14] On November 28, 1992, Toon announced his retirement from the league, doing so after hearing from a handful of doctors that had each told him that he should not risk another blow to the head, as he had suffered five concussions in the last six seasons and nine in his career.

Toon is one of two retired players in NFL history to play fewer than 110 games and still record over 500 receptions.

Additionally as a Community Center board member he and his team of locals developed the Boy's and Girl's Club of Dane County.

[18] Toon served on the board of directors of the National Guardian Life Insurance Company (NGL).

[22][23] He now owns and runs an online retail sales business along with a focus on real estate ownership and management with his wife.

Molly was a Final Four participant while playing volleyball at the University of Michigan and worked for Aerotek in Arizona, while Toon's youngest daughter, Sydney played two seasons of volleyball at University of Wisconsin Whitewater following her prep experience at Middleton High School.
