Not many players highlight package is every play they ever made but if you did the math I'm thinking 3/4 of his 470 yards and most if not all of his 7 Tds are in that video.
Steelers Claim WR Myles Boykin Off Waivers

I can critique the decision. I'm not paying Rogers or worse Watson's ridiculous contract but I can have an opinion.Ahhh, my friend, truer words have never been spoken.
Look at stats. Chase Claypool is 5 times the player.
You sure can.
btw, that was a joke. Not a critique of your post. Just a joke man.

The big question is how good is his TikTok game.
Quit whining. He's not coming in to be our No. 1 or No. 2 WR. He is coming in to compete as our No. 3 or 4 WR or if he can even make the team. His knock coming out of college was that he needed good coaching. Hopefully, we have a good WR coach that can help him improve because it doesn't look like he did in Ratsville. If he does improve, then maybe we found a decent No. 3 WR.

The player sucks but the great part is he cost nothing and can be cut. The coaching thing, well it amazes me all his coaches were bad. The common factor with coaching has always been Boykin himself.
while its true he had 33 catches in 3 seasons, look at the numbers a little closer
www.pro-football-reference.com
he only had 56 targets. his overall catch rate (including his 1 catch in 2021) is 58.9%
the guy he's replacing is James Washington.
www.pro-football-reference.com
Washington has seen far, far more targets than Boykin has at this point in their careers. In fact, the lowest Washington saw while here (38) was still five more targets than Boykin had in his best season (33). Washington's overall catch rate was less than Boykin's (58.9 to 52.3) - and we were often confused why Washington would let the easy catches be dropped while be able to pick the ball out from between two defenders.
So these are similar players, but Boykin may have slightly better hands. However, Boykin ran a 4.42 at the Combine while Washington logged a 4.54.
So Boykin is a bit larger, quite a bit faster and has marginally better hands.
I'd suggest that at this point Boykin is a slight upgrade from Washington, but also has a higher ceiling - even this far into his career.

So he could not get open to be targeted or was last in the progression on a play? He's not good but if we are looking for a #3-4 Wr on the cheap we got that and it cost nothing.while its true he had 33 catches in 3 seasons, look at the numbers a little closer

Washington or Boykin? I'll go out on a limb and say you're referencing Boykin. I'm not sure if he was unable to get open, or the last in the progression. I'm only looking at the numbers. Which can tell a lot, but not the whole story.
I'm not saying this guy is going to be Terrell Owens, Jerry Rice or anything of the sort. But he's a slight upgrade from the guy he's replacing (while also being bigger and faster).
Didn't say his coaches in Ratsville were bad but we can hope and we can hope our coaches are better. It was a low-risk signing and he is instantly going to get playing time with how few NFL WR's we have on our team. It's DJ, Claypool and probably Boykin as our No. 3 right now. That's why a WR in Rd. 1 or 2 is almost a definite. The other pick should be DL.
Football is a democracy. If Boykin was really good he would have got the ball. They don't pick on a guy and say we'll his targets are gonna be this. Coverage dictates a lot of who gets the ball. Why I didn't feel sorry for Washington. If you get open Ben gets you the ball period.

C'mon guys, for one, Lamar Jackson is at QB and two, that offense is built around Hollywood Brown and Lamar running. Give the guy a chance to show his worth with a fresh new start in the Burgh, under Matt Canada's lethargic and predictable offense, with an under achieving QB trying to prove he isn't a bust while avoiding sacks due to a piss poor Offensive line and the league's worst running game.
Damn...he ******* e d!
Damn...he ******* e d!
The one thing I will say is he didn't play for the Washington Commanders. They played him twice a year. They should know what he is. I'd imagine they liked him coming out if college. And if he really sucks he is a no cost cut as many have said. But if he us not a true three his salary is very high.

Wish we had a really good WR coach to coach up Boykin. That big, that fast...... hope he finally lives up to his potential.
The Steelers haven’t adjusted to the league decimating the way they did contracts a decade ago when they introduced preset draft salary slots and mandatory four year contracts
In the past they signed lower round picks to shorter contracts (3years)that left their first free agency as a RFA instead of a UFA … this gave the Steelers bargaining power to negotiate a moderate second contract for the guys who looked promising. They tended to give the first rounders a five year deal but not with the escalating optional fiftg year that’s guaranteed like it is now…This let them develop some guys longer … now a guy like Dupree they really have to make a decision on after three years… he needed three years of developing before he clicked… that isn’t uncommon. That guy who finally bursts tgrough in year 4 or the second to seventh rounder that plays at a high level right away, those guys are being paid at a premium earlier now… and it handcuffs you severely
Basically the bad drafting clubs negated the big advantage of drafting well in axing cost control earlier…
Bottom line. The Ravens dumped his 2.5 million contract for a reason. The Steelers picked it up. If that was a **** organization I'd say maybe. I don't see this working out.

Is he an upgrade? I don't see it and his bigger and faster game has not done much for him.
oh, i take it you have nothing better to do than to ***** a fit over who we have as our 3rd or 4th WR (at best)
quick - tell me who the best WR is for the Rats. Marquise Brown?
per the numbers, Boykin has a better catch percentage. So you can even look at this as we now have the Rats' WR with the best hands. It's really a non-argument you're so woefully trying to spin.

I don't care if he is or is not our 3rd or 4th WR. You're all salty over a bad WR that the Rats did not want... Oh boy I can't wait for his 470 yards every 2 years.
Other than DJ and Claypool, Boykin is still probably our No. 3 as we sit right now. We have no one else. They needed to sign at least one FA and then draft at least one WR in the top 2 or 3 rounds (depending if they are dumb enough to draft a QB). Heck, DJ could still pull something stupid and sit out although I just don't see him having that kind of leverage even as short-handed as we are. He is not an elite WR. He could get there but he is not right now.

I agree the Steelers had to make this roster move.
Literally one post later, and you're hailing this as a quality move.
