Players going to new teams can be a shock. You don’t know any players, and coaches, you’re stepping into a whole new world even if you’re staying in the same sport. Some of that will resonate with Miles Boykin, claimed off waivers by the Pittsburgh Steelers earlier this offseason. But there’s one familiar face that greeted him in Pittsburgh – WR Chase Claypool, his teammate at Notre Dame. And Claypool was the first player to find out Boykin was coming to the Burgh.
That’s what Boykin said in an appearance on the Varsity House Podcast aired Wednesday afternoon, one that also featured Claypool and Minkah Fitzpatrick.
