Casey Joseph Toohill (born August 22, 1996) is an American professional football defensive end for the Buffalo Bills of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Stanford and was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL draft. Toohill also played for the Washington Commanders.

College career

A three-star recruit, Toohill committed to Stanford to play football over multiple offers from schools such as Boston College, Nevada, Utah, Washington, and Washington State.[1] Toohill started all 12 games as a fifth-year senior at Stanford. He earned second-team All-Pac-12 honors after recording 11.5 tackles for loss, eight sacks, and 60 tackles. In his career, he recorded 124 tackles (21.5 for loss), 14 sacks, and an interception.

Professional career

Philadelphia Eagles

Toohill was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles in the seventh round, 233rd overall, of the 2020 NFL draft.[2] [3] He was waived by the Eagles on October 13, 2020.[4]

Washington Football Team / Commanders

On October 14, 2020, Toohill was claimed off waivers by the Washington Football Team.[5]

In Week 6 of the 2021 season, Toohill recorded his first career sack on Kansas City Chiefs' quarterback, Patrick Mahomes.[6] He had his first career start in Week 11 against the Carolina Panthers in place of Chase Young, who was placed on the team's injured reserve. On December 11, 2021, he was placed on COVID-19 reserve list; Toohill was forced to sit out the Week 14 game against the Dallas Cowboys, but reactivated a week later.[7]

In Week 10 of the 2022 season, Toohill scored his first career touchdown in a victory over the then-undefeated Eagles; he recovered the ball in a failed lateral pass from Eagles' receiver DeVonta Smith and returned it 1 yard to the end zone in the final play of the game.[8]

In the 2023 season, Toohill was elevated in the defense's starting lineup before Week 9; following Week 8, the Commanders had traded both of their original starting defensive ends, Chase Young and Montez Sweat.[9]

Buffalo Bills

On March 19, 2024, Toohill signed a one-year contract with the Buffalo Bills.[10]
