GunnerBill Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 We have signed Boykin? I liked him in Green Bay as a complimentary piece..... think that is a good pick up. I know he disappointed in Carolina this year and didn't make the final roster but still... he has shown he can play and the chemistry with Tyrod can only help.

YoloinOhio Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 Boykin's agent @blakebaratz A lot of the reason we decided on Buff vs the 10-12 other opportunities. Can never hurt to have ur college QB throwing to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinaccia Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Boykin will make a huge impact on this team. Watkins, Woods, and Boykin are an elite bunch of receivers. Wow... getting excited already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis in NC Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Marcus Easley type guy... Cool Except that he can catch the ball better than Marcus. Boykin had 38 catches (446 yds) for the Packers in 2014 when Cobb was hurt. BTW, Boykin is listed at 6'2", 215 lbs. This seems like a great pickup, especially with the Hokie connection.

Seems like GB could have really used him this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) what is Boykin's story as to why he's available? Seems like GB could have really used him this year. that is what I am wondering It is sounding like he was relegated to mostly special teams with Green Bay, and then injured. He got cut by Carolina- who is pretty deep at WR. I am not sure why Green Bay didn't bring him back Edited January 6, 2016 by Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 @RyanTalbotBills Coincidence or not? Buffalo's recent WR signings: Jarrett Boykin: 6'2", 217 lbs Greg Salas: 6'2", 210 lbs Leonard Hankerson: 6'2", 211 lbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo's recent WR signings: Jarrett Boykin: 6'2", 217 lbs Greg Salas: 6'2", 210 lbs Leonard Hankerson: 6'2", 211 lbs Roman wants guys who can block. This team is still going to be run heavy, with the ever present threat of Sammy. Hope this guy makes the team. I'm sure Tyrod and he have a rapport that can be nothing but good for the offense and locker room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 7-11 should be paying close attention. I know you referring to the competition brought in at his position but Hogan is a pretty big wr himself. If he is cut by the Bills, I think he would catch on to another team real quick. Dude just gets open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Michael Thomas 6'3 210 just declared. I am just saying As someone who want Mike Evans, I'm starting to think size is a bit overrated in the NFL. I hate fade routes. Such a lazy playcall. With the new rules, you just want guys who can get open, Antonio Brown is probably the best red zone wr and he's not even 6'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloHokie13 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Boykin has huge hands. IIRC he wears 3XL gloves and wears through about a pair a game. I'm happy, and I'm sure Tyrod is as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Boykin looks like, at the very least, a Chris Hogan kind of receiver. If he has the chemistry with Tyrod that made him Tyrod's most productive receiver he ought to be at the very least a safety valve so Tyrod doesnt keep slinging it to Sammy in double coverage.

starrymessenger Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Boykin has huge hands. IIRC he wears 3XL gloves and wears through about a pair a game. I'm happy, and I'm sure Tyrod is as well! His hands may be large but are said also to not be very good. Lots of drops. He's also extremely slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he'll have that in common with Sammy! They'd hit it off. (For big stretches, anyway...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
