Experts expect the rookie receiver to make an instant impact for the Bengals.
Prior to the 2016 NFL Draft, there was a heavy outcry from Bengal fans urging the team to select an immediate-impact wide receiver to fill the void left by Marvin Jones and Mohamed Sanu. With Tyler Boyd, the Bengals hope that void will be filled.
Many analysts believe the Bengals filled the hole with the best possible solution. Boyd is an extremely talented receiver, whose reliable hands and versatility stand out, which is what Cincinnati needs to help offset the losses of Sanu and Jones.
