Notre Dame football: Could the “Miles Boykin” Effect Hit Javon Mckinley?

So, here’s the thing. Miles Boykin was definitely not a powerhouse receiver for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish prior to the 2018 season. Not counting the LSU bowl game, his career totals were as follows: 15 Receptions, 232 yards, and 2 touchdowns. Nothing to totally scoff at, but nothing to gloat about either. He was seen as a big, athletic body who hadn’t fully hit his stride with route running or play making ability. Then something happened.

He snagged an unreal catch, and then weaved through top talent SEC defenders from LSU en route to a game winning touchdown.
