Kris Boyd, Cornerback

A three-year starter at cornerback for the Longhorns, Boyd had one of his best seasons during the 2018 campaign. Boyd was on an island for most of the season and tallied 16 pass deflections and one interception, while also recording 67 total tackles, one sack and one forced fumble.

Boyd’s athleticism and recovery speed will impress teams, but his off the field issues (first half suspension versus Oklahoma State) could drop his draft stock for some.
