I see a lot of 1st round WR saviors coaches did not play much or if they did play, their impact was not great. Boyd had more impact in round 2 last year than any guy I have listed as "No"
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
