I see AJ as the new Chad. He has more length than Chad and possibly better hands but no one could change direction like the Ocho.
I am not sure who wants to be the new Henry. I have high hopes for Core, as he has the size and vertical speed. Here's to hoping he makes the most of his opportunity.
But I really, really like what I see out of Boyd. His QBs at pitt always sucked big time. He is showing what he can do with good QB play. I think he has a big day at his first home game.
To be 100% honest, I think Boyd's game greatly reminds me of Chad more than Green. Boyd's route running is pretty great, as was Chad's.
Some people may argue that "Chad is faster than Boyd". Which, I mean, Boyd posted a 4.58 in the combine and Chad a 4.57.
I'm not saying Boyd will be as good as Chad, although I REALLY hope he is. But a lot of Boyd's strengths are the same as Chad's. Both have great hands, good in route running, quick, and had a very good grasp of zone coverage and how to beat it.
Seriously, go back and look at some plays by Johnson and look at some plays by Boyd (college and NFL) and you'll see some similarities in playing style.
