2. WR Miles Boykin

The Baltimore Ravens have a more-than-capable pass-catcher in tight end Mark Andrews. Prior to the starter of the 2021 season, the franchise signed him to a four-year, $56 million extension (via Spotrac).

This past year and playing with multiple quarterbacks, he was targeted 153 times. He finished with an impressive 107 grabs for 1,361 yards and nine touchdowns and earned All-Pro honors for the first time.

Wide receiver Marquise Brown also had a breakout year. He finished second on the club with 91 catches, good for 1,008 yards and six scores. The depth chart also includes David Duvernay and 2021 first-round pick Rashod Bateman.

The third year certainly wasn’t the charm for Ravens’ wide receiver Miles Boykin. He played in every game for the team his first two seasons in the league. However, the one-time Notre Dame standout didn’t do much to distinguish himself. He combined to catch just 32 passes for 464 yards and seven scores. Three postseason games netted six catches for 46 yards.

This past year, Boykin missed a total of nine games. He caught only one pass all season. A third-round pick in 2019, the former enters the final year of his rookie contract.
