that could contribute to the Redskins"Kris Boyd Mason Foster Jersey , CornerbackSchool: Texas | Conference:Big 12College Experience: Senior | Age: 22?Height / Weight: 5-11 / 195 lbsDraft Projection: 3rd to 5th roundNFL Comparison: Teez TaborCollege StatisticsPlayer OverviewA native to Gilmer, Texas, Kris Boyd was the No. 9 ranked CB in the country and four-star recruit before heading to UT over Texas A&M. Boyd, a high school multi-sport athlete (football and track), worked to get playing time, leading the team in special team tackles as a freshman. Boyd worked his way into the starting lineup his sophomore year and was part of what some consider to be a resurgence of UT football. Selected to All- Big 12 First Team, he helped lead Texas to a win in the Sugar Bowl over Georgia.StrengthsHas good size to play CB in the NFL.Physical with receivers at LOS and down the field. Always fights to breakup passes, even after beaten in coverageStays on the hip of the receiver and plays the hands of the receiver well to breakup catches.Good in run support and blitzing from the CB positionWeaknessesDespite his track background, Boyd appears to have just average speed and gets beaten by faster, more athletic WRs.Ability to play the ball in the air is inconsistent. Has some great PBUs, but other times struggles to locate the ball.Not a fluid athlete. Boyd is tight-hipped and has difficulty changing directions. Backpeddle and transition is not smooth leading to being a step late in coverage.Suspended by team for the first half of the Oklahoma State game for being late to a team function. Got into a social media spat with ESPN analyst and former UT player Emmanuel Acho over the suspension.Let’s go to the video tapeHow He Fits On The RedskinsRight now, Boyd’s athletic limitations and technique issues will make it hard for him to contribute to an NFL roster at CB. Much like his path in college, he would have to contribute significantly on special teams before getting his shot in the secondary. Although he has experience with off-man coverage Samaje Perine Jersey , a team that plays press man with safety help over the top would be a good spot for him. But, his lack of quickness and long speed will be big hurdles to overcome. If he were bigger, I’d make a case for him moving to SS as I think his strengths would make him a capable player at that position. With so many young CBs already on the team, Boyd would have a lot of competition to make the roster. It’s possible if he cleaned up his technique issues, he could provide depth at the position that may be better than players like Danny Johnson or Adonis Alexander. After an underwhelming Senior Bowl, the combine will go a long way to determining where he’ll go in the draft. NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Drew Brees threw four touchdown passes to inexperienced receivers and the New Orleans Saints won their 10th straight game Thursday night with a 31-17 victory over Atlanta that eliminated the Falcons from contention in the NFC South.Tommylee Lewis and Austin Carr each caught their second career touchdown pass, and rookie tight end Dan Arnold grabbed his first, as did rookie receiver Keith Kirkwood. All four entered the NFL as undrafted free agents within the past three years and had combined for zero touchdowns this season before Carr caught the first of his career last Sunday.Meanwhile, the Falcons (4-7) lost three fumbles inside the Saints 20 — something no team facing streaking New Orleans (10-1) can afford this season.Atlanta’s Matt Ryan was stripped by safety Marcus Williams on a third-and-2 from the Saints 3 and Williams recovered to end Atlanta’s opening drive. Julio Jones was stripped by linebacker Alex Anzalone after a catch on the New Orleans 17, and safety Vonn Bell recovered in the final minute of the second quarter to preserve a 17-3 lead going into halftime.The Saints’ defense, which had a season-high six sacks, continued to come up with big plays in the second half, with Anzalone breaking up a fourth-down pass in the third quarter and linebacker A.J. Klein intercepting a pass tipped by defensive tackle Tyeler Davison in the fourth. The interception gave the Saints possession on the Atlanta 22 Morgan Moses Jersey , setting up Kirkwood’s diving 4-yard TD catch.COWBOYS 31, REDSKINS 23ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Amari Cooper had a 90-yard touchdown catch while finishing with 180 yards receiving and two scores and Dallas pulled even with Washington atop the NFC East.Cooper had the most yards receiving for the Cowboys on Thanksgiving, along with the longest catch of his career and Dak Prescott’s longest completion in his three seasons. Cooper’s other TD was a 40-yarder.Ezekiel Elliott ran for 121 yards with a score as the Cowboys (6-5) won their third straight game since their first home loss, to Tennessee in the Dallas debut of Cooper following a trade. Dallas beat Washington for the eighth time in nine Thanksgiving games, and second in three seasons.The Redskins (6-5) lost for the third time in four games in Colt McCoy’s first start in four years coming off Alex Smith’s season-ending leg injury.The former Texas Longhorns star threw three interceptions to offset two touchdown passes. McCoy won his two previous starts at the home of the Cowboys, one for the 2009 Big 12 championship and the other his most recent NFL victory with the Redskins in 2014.BEARS 23, LIONS 16DETROIT (AP) — Chase Daniel made the most of his chance to fill in for Mitchell Trubisky, having the best day of his journeyman career.Daniel set career highs with 230 yards passing and two touchdowns to keep Chicago rolling with a win over Detroit.The NFC North-leading Bears (8-3) sealed their fifth straight victory with Kyle Fuller’s interception in the end zone with a little more than a minute left.Detroit (4-7) has lost four of five, plummeting to last place in the division.Chicago broke a 16-16 tie on Eddie Jackson’s 41-yard pick-6 with six minutes remaining. It was Jackson’s second consecutive game with an interception returned for a touchdown. It’s also the fifth career defensive touchdown for the 2017 fourth-round pick.
