Right. I don't think Tyler Boyd has shown the capacity to get open downfield regardless of his speed or his route running or his footwork. "Route running skills" are not universal or ubiquitous. Players can be great with some routes and less great with others. It's not terribly different to what T.J. Houshmandzadeh provided 15 years ago. Both he and Boyd will occasionally make a catch downfield, but it isn't going to happen often. It's not what they do best.
