On the "Locked on Bengals" podcast yesterday, I learned a couple things about Tyler Boyd.
One, he is one of the most outspoken players on the team. Jake and James raved about his willingness to talk to the reporters and always be "real" with them and not just speak in cliches. He was asked about his fellow receivers in camp and what has impressed him so far about rookie Tee Higgins, etc.
Boyd's answers were surprising. He referred to one of his fellow WRs as "unguardable". He said that word several times. Who was he talking about? Any guesses? (Scroll down)
It was John Ross. I also didn't know that he and Ross live directly across the street from each other. He said that the speed and change-of-direction ability of Ross at speed makes him absolutely unguardable. He was basing this on what he has seen this year. He went on to talk about Tee Higgins only saying that he had not seen him run routes accept for one day, hinting that he is injured. I guess that forced the Bengals hand a bit and they had to mention that he is fighting something (I didn't see what).
I fell in love with Boyd when he caught that 4th down TD against Baltimore and ended their season. I like him more every day and I think he will be a very critical piece of the offense under Burrow. Can't wait!
