The Baltimore Ravens released wide receiver Miles Boykin on Monday. On Tuesday, Boykin found a new home in the AFC North, when he was claimed off of waivers by the Pittsburgh Steelers.
It’s a smart signing for Pittsburgh, which has made a lot of smart signings this offseason. While Boykin’s numbers have been pedestrian thus far — he caught 33 passes for 470 yards and seven touchdowns in 40 games over three seasons with the Ravens — they don’t reflect Boykin’s overall value, or his potential.
Boykin played 417 snaps on special teams in Baltimore, where he was a solid contributor.
