This. I noticed that watching the YouTube video.

Just watch the video it speaks for itself.

Absolutely love this kid!! One of my favorite players in the draft. Goff in first and Boyd in the second will be the foundation of Chips offense for many years. Add in Swelter, Carlos Hyde and draft Kenyon Drake in the 4th round for a multi-dimension weapon to really threaten defenses!!

Hmmmm sounds like the same criticism that was said about Alshon Jeffery coming out. No separation in college means in the pros he'll have trouble but man can he attack the ball and go and get it. He's done pretty dam good.

Regardless it all depends on what QB he gets stuck with in the pros. If he gets a QB that will throw it up to him and let him get it then he will be just fine.

Hopefully he runs a crappy 40 in Indy so he falls like Alshon.

That would be amazing! but here's to hoping he runs a slow 40 so we can get him in the third and maybe get the best pass rusher/ o-lineman available in the second.

Flying under the radar. Maybe this years S. Diggs?

He had 10 rec. for 131 yards and a touchdown against Iowa this year. Probably his best game of the year.

I was talking about when King was on him.

Nice. Seems faster with the football with another gear. Not sure about his route running. Needs a lot of seasoning in that area. Can go up and fight for the ball which is good.

i dont see many separation issues. Most of the jump balls he had were because they were red zone throws or the QB didnt have the arm to get it more downfield

Yeah he should do just fine in the pros especially if he gets a QB that can get him the ball...I love receivers that can make the difficult play...not ones that need everything to break their way (including separation) in order to make a play

I just have a feeling he's going to fall to at least the third round and some team is going to be bragging about how they "don't know how he was still available."

Not impressed. We need a guy that can run open not fight a DB for the ball, and haven't we learned we can't rely on you tube vides, IE Jenkins/ Baldwin/Patton.....We pretty much will have this type of WR when Smelter returns and he may even be a little bit faster.

What do you attribute his inability to get seperation to?

Don't see him as an elite athlete, especially with foot speed. Could be wrong, but I think the combine is going to expose some of his physical limitations.

I think the big difference you will see between Jeffery and Boyd is about 2 inches in height and at least 20-25 pounds in weight, and simply much faster and quicker. His 6.71 3 cone time was really quick for a 6'3" guy. I'll be the first to admit I was wrong on Jeffery and Benjamin, but will stick to my guns on Boyd. Who knows, this is a crazy game to figure out who can play or not.
