Last week, as part of Russell Street Report’s unofficial Nick Boyle spotlight, I wrote about how Boyle has become a critical piece in this fascinating Greg Roman offense, highlighting how his improvement as a receiving threat has opened up his full arsenal as a player. In the game against Buffalo that seemed to be a spot-on assessment, as Boyle hauled in his second TD of the season on a jailbreak play by Lamar Jackson.
This week, sticking with my focus on this league-best group of tight ends that is comprised of Boyle, budding star Mark Andrews, and Sunday’s hero Hayden Hurst, I want to shed light on yet another unsung story that has been a massive one this season.
