When training camp first opened, wide receiver Tyler Boyd talked at length about adjusting to a new team. It’s safe to say that he is feeling at home with the Tennessee Titans.
The 29-year-old had the catch of the day on Wednesday on a deep ball from quarterback Will Levis. Boyd climbed the ladder to grab the football over cornerback Roger McCreary and came down with it, much to the delight of his teammates and coaches.
Here is the clip that everyone was talking about:

If that is a preview of things to come, the Titans’ receiving group should be in much better shape than they were in the last couple of years.
Boyd figures to be a big piece of that group after spending the first eight years of his career with the Cincinnati Bengals, during which he totaled 6,000 receiving yards on 513 catches and 31 touchdowns. He recorded career-bests in catches (90) and receiving yards (1,046) during the 2019 season.
The former University of Pittsburgh standout’s production dropped off over the last couple of seasons as Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow leaned more and more on star wideout Ja’Marr Chase.
However, Boyd will be entering a similar situation in his first season with the Titans, as DeAndre Hopkins, Calvin Ridley, and Treylon Burks will all command playing time.
