Problem is he has no brains evidently, but kids can grow up yah never know.
I like Boyd and I am for bringing him back but I heard he was being weird his last year or so with the Bengals, not staying and
signing autographs or hanging out with fans while guys like Tee were. Don't know if he is the professional leader to do this or not.
The ship has sailed with Boyd.
I was speaking more in retrospect, having Boyd mentoring a rookie Burton.
If the Bengals are serious about bringing him back from the edge, they need to get him a swim buddy to stick with him and keep him on the straight and narrow. Maybe bring in a vet, like Hopkins or Slayton, to stick with and learn from.
But he may be on too thin of ice to save.
