Staying another year probablty wouldn't help him

He had a solid year, showing some decent stats as a true #1 WR. I doubt he would have anything notably better had he stayed for 2019. There's no sense in risking injury, as he was able to finish this year without any significant injuries, and sometimes, it's better not to tempt fate.

Right now, the knock on him is his sheer speed, where he probably runs closer to a 4.60. He would fit the mold of "strong possession receiver" at the NFL level, which isn't very glamorous, nor are they drafted particularly early. Even if he had a better year in 2019, I doubt it would change his predicted draft position as a late round pick.

There's a good bit of younger talent coming through the ranks, too. Now that Kevin Austin will have had an entire off-season, I'm pretty sure he'll be ready to step in, and that would have taken away some reps from Boykin.

    • Well, if he's slow this year he's gonna be slow next year. What does he gain by staying? [NT] - faircatchcorby - 1:47pm 1/31/19
    • Boykin seems to be the type of WR that would be a fit for Patriots [NT] - Irish_lou_2 - 12:41pm 1/31/19
    • He's too slow to make it as a wr in NFL..better off being a hybrid [NT] - beefy78 - 12:14pm 1/31/19
      • Hot position in the NFL is a "move" TE - D2 - 1:41pm 1/31/19
        • Just like Josh Adams, right? [NT] - ND_in_DRO - 8:45am 2/1/19
          • You must be assuming that he has "made it" as an NFL RB [NT] - D2 - 2:02pm 2/1/19
            • No...but more likely to make it a RB than TE. [NT] - ND_in_DRO - 3:35pm 2/2/19
        • Yes. Show a year of that at ND, and he has something. [NT] - Rish93 - 2:01pm 1/31/19
          • Except ND doesn't have that position in it's offense [NT] - D2 - 2:12pm 1/31/19

      • Wasn't he a decent downfield blocking receiver also which may help him in the draft. [NT] - ucandoit - 12:15pm 1/31/19
    • This is supposedly a weak WR draft. - LanceHarbor - 11:51am 1/31/19

      • Bingo! - D2 - 1:33pm 1/31/19
    • Well, short of maybe switching to TE, what was he going to do to improve his draft prospect in '19 [NT] - Irish_Demon - 11:42am 1/31/19
      • 120 receptions 25 TDs should do it [NT] - holybull101 - 11:37pm 1/31/19
        • Whimsical fantasy lines aside, having a great year isn't going to change who he is. - Irish_Demon - 10:27am 2/1/19
