Boykin to Visit per Rapoport

[FearTheCats]

This time last year, Mike McCarthy couldn't stop saying great things about Jarrett Boykin. In camp and preseason he didn't pull away as the Packers #3 which is what they expected. But the guy clearly has some traits that have caught coaches' eyes.

Aaron Rodgers was bragging about him as well. Adams passed him this past season, however.

JB's a good dude.  Seemed to be on the rise before the Pack went out and drafted Adams. 

[Pejorative Miscreant]

Just give him what's left in cap money so we can say we made a big splash. ...I don't care about signing 5-7 rounders anymore. Can we simply recuse ourselves from the draft?

I loved him at Tech and would have liked him here a few years ago. Hes big and physical. He isn't the fastest but isn't the slowest by any means.

Perfect slot guy and #3 WR target. Could see him taking over Cotchery's role but that's not saying much

[LinvilleGorge]

I'm fine with bringing him in to compete, but better be a near minimum contract.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

It's basically like we're getting Randall Cobb

 

 

 

Right guys?

4.74 40

 

Overview:

Boykin is an athletic receiver with a ton of size. He is a slow mover who is not taking the top off any NFL defenses, but his long strides make him look fluid in the open field running intermediate routes. He has good hands and a large catch radius to go up and get the ball. Teams needing a red-zone threat and a receiver who can snag the ball on timing routes will consider him a fifth-round talent.

 

Strengths:

Boykin is quick off the line and is good to release outside and stem his routes, but can also get back on top of a defender when running vertically. He is flexible and can drop his weight with ease to break and separate from cornerbacks. He is a good option in short and intermediate routes and a catcher who can adjust to the ball well to bring in nearly every ball thrown his way. He is physical downfield and makes his presence felt on the edge in the run game.

 

Weaknesses:

Boykin is a slow receiver who struggles to make plays happen deep. He can catch the ball from anywhere and can be an option even when covered, but will struggle to run against NFL corners and could potentially get blanketed. He is not elusive after the catch by any stretch of the imagination, though he can break arm tackles from smaller cornerbacks.

 

 

Yikes.

 

Man, you almost have to start to wonder if this is what Gettleman wants in his WRs.  Rivera has spoken openly this offseason about needing more speed and this is the WR we're bringing in for a visit...

 

 

That's insane.  It would almost be like getting a slower  less elusive version of Cotchery.

4.74 40?! Keek has a faster 40 time for Christ sakes! Practice squad body to replace Stephen Hilll when he makes the 53

[FugginPoo]

Pathetic, burn the house down

[Your GFs favorite huddler]

Still need a #2....I like him replacing cotch but there still isn't a #2 on the roster

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

Brutal. If we go into this season with KB and a bunch of number four-fives I will be sick.
