If everyone stays healthy our trio of "starting" WRs (Green, Boyd, Ross) will remind some people of Chad, TJ, and Henry.  If not in talent level at least in the roles they play.  And just like back in those days, todays offense probably won't throw a lot to the TE.  Housh used to do the dirty work and grind out a lot of those short first downs that TEs usually handle.  Boyd is very good at this also.  That type of receiver is gold for a rookie QB.

Well said.  Boyd is exceptional on third down.  I don't know the numbers either but he has to be among the leaders.
