He became a starter the following season, and finished his college career ranked second in school history in receiving yards.

Toomer joined the 1996 NFL Draft and was selected by the New York Giants during the second round. He signed a three year deal with the Giants which started to increase his net worth.

2008 would become his final season with the team; he appeared in all 15 regular season games, and concluded his career with 190 games, 142 of which he played as a starter. He holds the Giants record for receptions, consecutive games with at least one reception, receiving touchdowns, and receiving yards. He signed a one year contract with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2009 but was cut before the roster was finalized. The following year, he was inducted into the New York Giants Ring of Honor.
