Philadelphia Eagles

Toohill was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles in the seventh round, 233rd overall, of the 2020 NFL draft. [2] [4] He was waived by the Eagles on October 13, 2020. [5]

On October 14, 2020, Toohill was claimed off waivers by the Washington Football Team. [6]

In Week 6 of the 2021 season, Toohill recorded his first career sack on Kansas City Chiefs' quarterback, Patrick Mahomes. [7] 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. [8]

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. [9]
