The Bengals traditionally use a West Coast timing offense, favoring route runners and intermediate passing concepts with elements of spread formations.
Boyd projects as an immediate contributor in the slot, with the upside to develop into a reliable Z receiver who can consistently win on intermediate routes.
He would struggle to create separation against press coverage in a vertical-heavy Air Raid system.
His polished route running and reliable hands are a natural fit for a timing-based passing game, though his lack of elite speed limits his deep threat capabilities.
Selected #55 overall in Round 2 of the 2016 NFL Draft by Cincinnati Bengals out of Pittsburgh.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
