I actually like Boyd, but I have to admit those numbers are disappoiting. It shows he lacks speed to make plays as well as red zone prowess. He can obviously improve but I bet those numbers played a role in the drafting of John Ross, who has amazing speed and red zone production.

That little route he runs in the red zone, lined up in the slot, where he starts in, then cuts out and makes the easy catch in the end zone...Don't know what the actual name for the route is, so I just call it unstoppable.  Probably some kind of an option thing.  I can't wait to see him running that one in stripes.
