A college teammate of coach Rex Ryan's son Seth, Boyd generated more questions than answers at the Reese'sSenior Bowl. He's not a threat to displace Geno Smith orMichael Vick, but he could wind up casting No. 3 arm Matt Simms to the street if he does well in camp.
The 6-foot-1 Boyd was a hot prospect a year ago, but his stock took a fierce tumble as scouts found issues with his game film.
Boyd has a strong arm and can make plays with his feet, but he'll need time to adjust to a pro-style offense after operating out of a pistol, read-option-heavy attack in college. His numbers at Clemson were inflated by playing alongside DeAndre Hopkins and Sammy Watkins; he won't find those weapons in New York.
