How Boykin got to the Steelers
The Ravens reportedly were shopping Boykin, but couldn't find any takers before releasing him. Pittsburgh will reunite Chase Claypool and Boykin who played together for the Fighting Irish before Boykin left for the NFL in 2019. The move will save the Ravens $2.5 million against the salary cap.
Salute to Myles Boykin! Always thought he was ready to take the next step.

Boykin, 25, was drafted by the Ravens in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft. In three seasons with the Ravens, Boykin only caught 33 passes for 470 yards. But he did have 7 touchdown receptions. Last season, Boykin only dressed for 8 games after being hampered by a hamstring injury to start the season.
Boykin spent most of his time last season on special teams when he did see the field. He only had 1 catch for 6 yards last season.
STAY TUNED MORE TO COME.
