STRENGTHS
Boye has just started to put together all of his athletic talents with his high football IQ. He is big, strong, with long arms and long legs. He changes the line of scrimmage to his advantage on every down, using those long arms and natural strength to his advantage. Boye shows excellent leadership skills through his play on the field. He shows up just when his team needs a big play against the run or pass. Boye gets into the backfield quickly with his strength and long strides and is stout against the run, shedding and making tackles behind the line of scrimmage. He can play more than one position on your defensive front and in any style of defensive system because he has the potential to be a complete Defensive lineman for the team that selects him.
CONCERNS
I’m not going to nit-pick this person just to try to impress you with my extensive football knowledge. Boye just needs more repetitions and better coaching to reach his full potential.
BOTTOM LINE 1.47
Boye’s improvement during the Senior Bowl week was dramatic and very impressive. Every repetition he showed improvement and took to the coaching quickly. He is very smart and understands quickly why a coach is correcting him and also understands why that correction will make him better. He shows on the film the potential to be one of the best pass rushers from this class once he gets on a team that identifies his talents. Boye could be considered as a top ten pick in this draft but I’m sure he won’t be because he will need some development. Nevertheless, he learns quickly and his development time will be quick. Boye is a playmaker, a team player, with excellent leadership skills to go along with excellent athletic talent and a high football IQ. That’s the combination I look for in a player I would consider selecting very early in any draft.
