Hes not quit big enough or fast/explosive enough to be a consistent threat on the boundary but he has just about every other quality in a receiver that's going to make him on the leagues premier slot receivers.
Does that fit the Bengals? Not really. The Bengals have a special talent at WR named Ja'Marr Chase. He is a guy that needs 40% of the slot reps just for matchup opportunities. So the Bengals need a guy that can be a threat on the boundary and the slot to replace Boyd. That means as a boundary receiver he has to be physical enough to climb the ladder for those back shoulder and 50/50 balls Joey B loves to throw.
Watch the 2022 Rose Bowl when he went up against a CB that will be a 1st round pick this year and tell me he can't play the slot and some outside.
