Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Savvy using his hands to get to the ball without drawing flags. Willing tackler and high-effort leader.
  • Can deliver the big hit and isn't afraid to jump inside to slow the ball.
  • Flashes good ball skills. Boykin has the fluidity and change-of-direction ability to mirror quicker receivers underneath.
  • Stays low in his backpedal and shows the click-and-close ability to break up plays in front of him. Boykin can move well laterally and shows excellent instincts when looking into the backfield in zone coverage.
  • Gives great effort in run support, sticking his nose in as a tackler, and should be able to contribute as a special teamer covering kicks.
  • Good hustle player who puts himself in the action when he's not directly involved. Knows how to use his height and vertical leap.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Despite his size, he’s not an overly physical tackler. Boykin might have to add some weight at the next level in order to become more physical.
  • Like a lot of collegiate corners, Boykin has a tendency to get grabby, something that will have to be coached out of him.
  • Boykin runs well, but he doesn’t have elite recovery speed.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects.
