Wide Receiver - Tyler Boyd - Pittsburgh

Tyler Boyd - WR Pittsburgh
6'2" 200lbs

Boyd is another tall thin receiver.  Boyd has a natural instinct to high point the ball and a strong desire to catch it! He catches the ball well in traffic and with defenders draped all over him.  He has the speed to slice through the defense and take it to the house.  He has tons of athletic and leaping ability.  Roughly, 1:40 into the clip, you will see his athletic ability leaping over the defender in full stride during a punt return.  He shows his ability to be physical while fighting for the ball.  He was consistently double covered yet still had 91 receptions his Junior year at Pittsburgh.  Boyd needs to add some weight through muscle mass so he is not pushed around by opposing DBs'.  There will comparables to fellow Pitt Panther Larry Fitzgerald over the coming months.  Boyd is leaner than Fitzgerald but does have many of the other physical traits.
