I really don't understand the point of this thread.
OP even says it is "unlikley he becomes the leader in yards or receptions". And he's definitely not breaking the TD record, that would be the least likely of 3.
So exactly what conversation are we having here? That Tyler Boyd could break records, or that Tyler Boyd is a damn good #2 receiver.
Fwiw, I love Boyd. I've stated this numerous times, and somewhere even have a thread about what a great deal he is, and how he's undervalued. But again, I'm not sure what conversation we're having here.
Do I think he breaks records? Very, very, very doubtful. The room is getting more and more crowded, and to plug in the next 4 years at last years pace is asking a ton. Not many receivers can stay healthy and miss zero time over 5 straight seasons.
If you were to plug him in the next 4 years at last year's numbers it would result in the following...
-6 straight 1,000 yard seasons. This is incredibly rare. Even a younger AJ Green fell short of this. Very few WR's can accomplish this.
-90 out of 90 Games Played. Almost impossible, and exactly why the above is so rare. Guys will eventually get hurt and miss time at some point.
I think he has a really, really nice career here. With his 2nd contract being done, and early production in his career he should demolish TJ, Sanu and Jones in production as the "#2". Barring a catostophic injury I'm sure he'll climb up the team records. But is he touching Chad's 751 receptions and 10,781 yards? No way. You're talking 8 more 1,000 yard seasons to do that. 7 more seasons of 75 catches to do that.
Tyler Boyd is a stud. But a record breaker? Let's let him get a 3rd 1,000 yard season before we start penciling him in for 4,200 yards over the next 4 years.
