Newsstand: Former Notre Dame receiver Miles Boykin signs new deal with Steelers
In 2016 and 2017, Miles Boykin caught 18 passes for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, and it wasn’t until 2018 when he exploded and saw his stock as an NFL wide receiver pick up. He caught 59 passes for 872 yards with 8 scores that season.
Boykin spent his first three seasons in the NFL with the Baltimore Ravens, who selected him in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He signed with the Ravens’ top rival — the Pittsburgh Steelers — last season. He only caught 2 passes for 11 yards in 2022 but excelled on special teams and totaled 10 tackles.
The Steelers announced Monday that he has re-signed with the team on a one-year contract. The exact details of the deal have not been disclosed.
Boykin is not expected to become a top contributor offensively for Pittsburgh but will certainly remain a special teams ace.
