Lots of people tend to forget that coming out of college that Tyler Boyd had one of the best route trees out there. He worked outside and inside.
Here's some facts on Boyd.
Spent 318 of his 589 snaps at outside wide receiver, and 223 in the slot
Dropped just 10 of the 182 catchable passes thrown his way between 2014 and 2015
What he does best:
• Diverse route runner who has success on the majority of routes ran in 2015. Had at least one reception on 13 different routes, with no more than 191 of his receiving yards coming on a single route type
• Despite this, the post was his best route, catching all nine catchable passes thrown his way on posts for 191 yards and two touchdowns
• Smart route runner with good footwork, something that helped him make the reception on 93 percent of the passes thrown his way on hitch routes
The benefit is we can line him up anywhere and he can get open. We saw quite a few times last year where Boyd was open and Dalton would either miss him or just didn't see him.
I think having Green, Boyd, Ross, and Eifert on the field at once can cause great mismatches.
