Nick Boyle NFL Draft 2015: Scouting Report, Grade for Ravens Rookie
STRENGTHS
A Senior Bowl invitee from Delaware, Nick Boyle had a good enough week in Alabama to attract the attention of NFL teams. Boyle has the ideal NFL frame at 6โ4โ and 268 pounds and uses his length and hand size well in the passing and run games. As a blocker, Boyle looks good. He uses a wide base and understands how to incorporate his length and hand size. Heโll keep his feet churning through the block to sustain contact and leverage. When thrown to, Boyle has soft hands and looks the ball in comfortably. While he doesnโt bring much juice after the catch as a runner, he is physical and will look to truck defenders.

WEAKNESSES
Boyle lacks the fluid, fast feet of todayโs tight ends. He has below-average speed and isnโt a threat to work up the seam or after the catch. Boyle is heavy-footed and wonโt shake defenders in his route tree or with the ball in his hands. Heโs robotic throughout the route and doesnโt show the body control to hide his routes well. When utilized as a blocker, heโs hot and cold and will let defenders beat him on a second effort.
2014 STATISTICS
Receptions: 37 ย ย ย ย
Receiving Yards: 304 ย ย ย ย
Touchdowns: 4
PRO COMPARISON: Brandon Pettigrew,ย Detroit Lions
Athletically limited, Boyle will never win a footrace, but heโs physical and capable of playing on all three downs, like Brandon Pettigrew does.
