Former Pitt receiver Tyler Boyd will battle for playing time in 2017
Aaron Doster-USA TODAY SportsLast year, former Pitt wide receiver Tyler Boyd enjoyed a solid rookie campaign with the Cincinnati Bengals. With 54 catches for 603 yards, he was impressive as a late second-round NFL Draft pick.
But despite that strong first year, a cursory glance at the Bengals' roster shows he'll have to work hard to keep his spot.
First, there's A.J. Green, who is not only the undisputed top guy (no, not those top guys) but one of the best wideouts in the league. After that, the team re-signed their other starter, Brandon LaFell, to a two-year contract. That alone could be enough to keep Boyd where he's at as the team's third option.
