Ravens rookie WR Miles Boykin earning starting status

Article analyzing his first preseason game:
Miles Boykin’s night was overshadowed by inconsistent play. He found early playing time with the starters, but failed to execute when balls were thrown his way. Boykin dropped a pass early in the first quarter but recovered later by using his large frame and extended length to pluck the ball away from the defender and push forward for a first down. Then Boykin dropped another pass, this time from backup QB Trace McSorley, mid-second quarter. Boykin finished the half strong by catching three beautifully thrown passes from McSorley. Each throw resulted in chunk-yardage, and one pass went for a touchdown. However, the touchdown was nullified due to a holding penalty from the LT. In the end, Boykin finished with four catches for 39 yards. Overall, Boykin recovered relatively well from a rocky start and will surely improve after last night’s performance.

Baltimore released the guy who I thought was their best redzone threat, though I didn't pay much attention to Baltimore this year outside of their games against Cincy.

And their fans are celebrating the news like he was a villain... any Ravens fans here that can shed some light on the situation?

Not a Raven fan, but Miles was hurt almost all season, and the Ravens needed salary cap lightening. They cut three potential starters to achieve that --- Miles was the least expensive of them. It is rumored that Pittsburgh might be interested now that he is free.

Not a ravens fan either but because I live in MD and my wife’s family follows them I keep up with them. I haven’t seen anything of them cheering. I know he dropped some catches when he first got there. I just don’t honk he lived up to what they thought he would be. He’ll be a good pick up for someone though.

Crazy - But claypool will still go down with more yards catches and tds in the nfl.

I thought he mentally turned the corner at ND his sophmore year, can't believe what he's become. He is visiting with the seahawks though

Is he absolutely done? This is all I could find.

I thought Boykin/Claypool is a metaphor for the BK 2.0 era. A great college receiving threat retarded by the lack of a quarterback to get them the ball.
