Re: Bills sign another WR, Jarrett Boykin.
He's shown a few things in this league. At least in Madden.I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Lots of drops and extremely slow. Like 4.6/4.7 slow.Comment

Re: Bills sign another WR, Jarrett Boykin.
Highly doubt this guy makes our team, but heck he at least has pro experience and size so why not give it a shot. Maybe he is a real good blocking WR and will fit in with our system.
In Hankerson still on the roster or is he gone? I know he was not on the list of 4 guys extended so I am betting they choose Salas over him.Comment

Re: Bills sign another WR, Jarrett Boykin.
I'm in Packer country and have talked to a couple of die-hards. They all say and I've seen it myself that this guy has good potential. Could stick.Comment

Re: Bills sign another WR, Jarrett Boykin.
He was a guy who actually showed some pretty good potential a few years ago and then just kinda disappeared.Originally posted by Mr. Miyagi View Post
I wouldn't say he's a guy signed to be a 2 or a 3 but like Hankerson he has potential to stick as a back end WR option and add 30-40 catches with 400-500 yards.
Plus if he has some rapport with Taylor from their college days, it might help Taylor as a passer feel more comfortable going into the middle of the field.Comment

Re: Bills sign another WR, Jarrett Boykin.
Considering Woods and Hogan went for 47/552 and 36/450, those speculative numbers would put Hankerson or Boykin in the discussion as a 2 or 3.YardRat Wall of Fame

Re: Bills sign another WR, Jarrett Boykin.
this team's WR depth is complete garbage outside of Watkins and Woods (as long as he is in the slot)The last time the Bills made the playoffs was 1999.Comment

Re: Bills sign another WR, Jarrett Boykin.
Well Woods missed a couple of games and wasn't targeted in a few others, so I'd revert back to his last year as being about his ceiling of 65 catches and 700 yards.Originally posted by YardRat View Post
I don't think Boykin or Hankerson would contribute that much anywhere and if they were forced to do that somewhere, that team would be in rough shape.Comment

I saw a thread about a couple "Boykin" in the parking lot of the Ralph just this very season. (rim shot)Comment

Nothing wrong with this signing at all...

Re: Bills sign another WR, Jarrett Boykin.
Along with Hankerson and Salas, you bring these guys to camp and see if 1 or more emerge as an option. What is the risk ? Zero.Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for witComment
