BOYD CAREER STATISTICS | BOYD LETTER TO PITTSBURGH
PITTSBURGH – Junior wide receiver Tyler Boyd will forego his senior season and enter the 2016 NFL Draft.
"This week I had an extensive meeting with Tyler and his family to discuss his football future. As head coach at Pitt, it is my responsibility to make sure each of our players make an informed decision on early draft entry,” head coach Pat Narduzzi said.
“To this end, I had four detailed phone conversations with NFL general managers and shared that feedback with Tyler so he could have the best information at his disposal. Today Tyler informed me he wants to pursue his dream to play in the NFL. Although I only coached him for a year, I will forever be a fan and supporter of Tyler and his family. I wish him the very best at the next level and know he will make an NFL team very happy. Tyler loves Pitt and Pittsburgh, and we love Tyler. We will all look forward to watching him play and succeed at the next level."
In just three years, Boyd became Pitt’s career leader in receptions (254) and receiving yards (3,361). His 5,243 all-purpose yards are second most in program history only to Tony Dorsett.
