After Boyd threw that TD pass in practice I went back and looked at his college stats. The guy was incredibly versatile. I know our coaches loved to use Sanu in a lot of different ways, and it looks like Boyd will be able to do the same.
Last year Boyd was the #2 rusher on the Pitt Panthers. He gained 349 yards on 40 carries for an 8.7 average. In Sanu's best season running the ball in college he gained 346 yards but he played one more game than Boyd (13 to 12) and only averaged 5.2 per carry.
Boyd did not throw the ball as much in college as Sanu (8-18, 207 yards), but again he was much more efficient (3-4, 96 yards)
Sanu returned 29 punts for a 4.2 avg. Boyd returned 27 for an 8.8 avg and one td.
Sanu had 2 kick returns for only 12 yards (6.0 avg). Boyd returned 46 for 1124 yards (24.4 avg).
But most important Boyd had much better receiving stats (254 catches, 13.2 avg, 21 tds) than Sanu (210 catches, 10.8 avg, 12 td).
Both played 38 games in college, but Boyd played in a MUCH tougher conference (ACC) than Sanu (Big East).
