Well, last night went about the way it was expected to for Tyler Boyd:
Tyler Boyd wasn’t selected in the first round of the NFL Draft, but he went to sleep Thursday comfortable and confident his NFL career will get started Friday.
Boyd was joined by family, friends and teammates in a crowded suite at the Omni William Penn, Downtown. Among those seated with him while he watched the draft was former Clairton coach Tom Nola, ex-Pitt teammates Terrish Webb and Titus Howard, and Pitt running back James Conner.
When Boyd’s name wasn’t called among the 31 picks in the first round, he took the disappointment with a quiet shrug.
