We have signed Boykin? I liked him in Green Bay as a complimentary piece..... think that is a good pick up. I know he disappointed in Carolina this year and didn't make the final roster but still... he has shown he can play and the chemistry with Tyrod can only help.

Marcus Easley type guy... Cool

Except that he can catch the ball better than Marcus.

 

Boykin had 38 catches (446 yds) for the Packers in 2014 when Cobb was hurt.

 

BTW, Boykin is listed at 6'2", 215 lbs.

 

This seems like a great pickup, especially with the Hokie connection.

what is Boykin's story as to why he's available? Seems like GB could have really used him this year.

that is what I am wondering

 

It is sounding like he was relegated to mostly special teams with Green Bay, and then injured. He got cut by Carolina- who is pretty deep at WR. I am not sure why Green Bay didn't bring him back

Coincidence or not? Buffalo's recent WR signings: Jarrett Boykin: 6'2", 217 lbs Greg Salas: 6'2", 210 lbs Leonard Hankerson: 6'2", 211 lbs

 

Roman wants guys who can block. This team is still going to be run heavy, with the ever present threat of Sammy. Hope this guy makes the team. I'm sure Tyrod and he have a rapport that can be nothing but good for the offense and locker room.

7-11 should be paying close attention.

I know you referring to the competition brought in at his position but Hogan is a pretty big wr himself. If he is cut by the Bills, I think he would catch on to another team real quick. Dude just gets open.

Michael Thomas 6'3 210 just declared. I am just saying

As someone who want Mike Evans, I'm starting to think size is a bit overrated in the NFL. I hate fade routes. Such a lazy playcall. With the new rules, you just want guys who can get open, Antonio Brown is probably the best red zone wr and he's not even 6'.

Boykin looks like, at the very least, a Chris Hogan kind of receiver. If he has the chemistry with Tyrod that made him Tyrod's most productive receiver he ought to be at the very least a safety valve so Tyrod doesnt keep slinging it to Sammy in double coverage.

Boykin has huge hands. IIRC he wears 3XL gloves and wears through about a pair a game. I'm happy, and I'm sure Tyrod is as well!

His hands may be large but are said also to not be very good. Lots of drops.

He's also extremely slow.

So he'll have that in common with Sammy! They'd hit it off. :)

 

(For big stretches, anyway...)
