He's going to be a steal, if he returns to pre-injury form. Started for Oregon as a true freshman and if not for the injury last year, would've been a 4 year starter. He's a big hitter (think LB in a safety's body) and the Oregon coaching staff was always raving about his intelligence and football IQ. He's got pretty good instincts but his height might cause him to struggle in coverage in the NFL. If not for the injury, I think he could've been a 2nd day draft pick.
Thats good to hear, thanks kdawg
I love Boyett but he suffered the same injury that ended Gary Baxter's career, tearing both patellar tendons at the same time. Root for him but don't expect him to make the team.
