Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd likely expected the question to be asked, so it shouldn't come as a surprise he gave a thoughtful answer when asked about possibly signing with the rival Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason.
Boyd, 29, already has made a name for himself in Pittsburgh. Boyd, a Pittsburgh-area native, was notified this past week that he will be part of the WPIAL Hall of Fame Class of 2024 in recognition of his stellar high school career at Clairton. Boyd has followed up his success at the prep level with a standout college career at Pitt and a highly successful eight-year run with the Bengals.
"You never know," Boyd told Pittsburgh Sports Now when asked about possibly signing with his hometown team. "I love Coach [Mike] Tomlin. He's probably one of the realest dudes in the sport's business. Obviously, I played at Pitt, and I had a lot of run-ins with him and talked to him just about football. His personality is more like a father figure. It's a great connection, but who knows? Even if I don't go after this year, I could do a one-year deal at the end of my career and maybe finish up, but who knows."
