Tyler Boyd Appreciation Thread

Guy is the best slot receiver in the league right now, and I’m not sure it’s even particularly close. The no-look catch he made in the red zone against the Titans was just absolutely ridiculous. I never watched him at Pitt much, but I can see why he broke all of Larry Fitzgerald’s records.

He’s currently 2nd in the league in receptions (54), and 9th in receiving yds (584). The only category he’s not top 10 in is TD’s (he’s 15th with 3). Just wanted to give our best WR some props instead of arguing over the other guys.

I broke out into a hearty, coy laugh that I make sometimes when something unexpectedly-good happens and my wife yelled from upstairs, "what happened?" To which I replied, "you know how I always complain about the flukey-shit that the Stoolers always have come their way? Well Boyd just made one of those catches and it was AWESOME! "

In no way, shape or form should that ball have been caught, but by God, it was beyond-incredible.

Boyd is awesome, period.

EDIT* wanted to add; if I ever need a 4th down pass play to be a first down, I'm picking Boyd over any other player in the league; he's the main reason why we convert all of the 4th downs we do and, IIRC, we lead the league in 4th down percentage since 2019 (I may be wrong on that).

SECOND EDIT* My mistake, we're 2nd: https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/fourth-down-conversion-pct. Last year, we were 12th, thus we're still in the top 3rd of the league, for the past 2 years.
