4. WR Miles Boykin

Ravens’ quarterback Lamar Jackson led the NFL with 36 touchdown passes this past season. Combined with the fact that he set an new league standard for rushing yards by a quarterback and it’s easy to see why he earned NFL Most Valuable Player accolades.

Those 36 aerial scores would go to nine different players. In fact, eight of those performers totaled at least two touchdown receptions. That included rookie wideout Miles Boykin, who played in all 16 games and made 11 starts. Now it’s worth noting that despite the fact that he appeared in every contest, he was targeted only 22 times during the regular season.

However, the former Golden Domer made the most of his opportunities by catching 13 passes for 198 yards (15.2 yards per reception) and reaching the end zone three times. He did see seven throws his way in the divisional round encounter with the Tennessee Titans but caught just three passes for 26 yards in the 28-12 setback.

So will the former Notre Dame standout see a lot more passes his way this fall? As the young wideout continues to hone his craft and Jackson enters his third NFL season continues to develop as a quarterback, he could be looking Boykin’s way a lot more in 2020.
