Shout out to Jarrett Boykin

Boykin takes in 8 catches for 103 yards and 1 TD. I do believe this was his first career start..great job by one of the greatest Hokies ever:

Next step: outscore Morten Anderson.

Jarret and Aaron were out of sync last week when he had to come in unexpectedly. Glad he had a productive game hopefully sees more playing time in the future!

I had a feeling I should've picked him up and started him in fantasy and I didn't.... Damn. Still happy for him though.

I had your feeling and acted....he saved me this week so far. Stupid blind homerism but its like those beer commercials....Its only weird if it doesn't work

I also acted on this blind homerism. I didnt stand a chance since I'm also a Packers fan. But thats what made this breakout game for Boykin all the more enjoyable for me. Im thrilled for him

I wasn't going to go with him because of homerism, I looked at if Cobb and Jones would be back and they weren't. I really should've picked him up.

Got 17 points from him in my standard league. Hopefully he gets established as my other receivers have been big flops.

If Jones and Cobb are back in the near future, I'm sorry to say he'll probably be warming the bench.

Cobb is on IR with a destination to return, so he won't be back until December. Jones might be back soon, but with the injury to Finley (yes I'm aware he's a TE and not a WR) Boykin could still remain a prominent piece in GB's offense

Congrats to Jarrett! Keep up the hard work and we'll keep rooting for you!

A decade on TKP and it's been time well spent.

Those XXXL gloves are finally getting a good workout in the NFL, glad to see it

Whoa whoa whoa. What happened to the old avatar??

Pretty funny story about that...I met Boykin and his friends at a party in Terrace View. Hammered drunk, I asked him to compare hand sizes with me because of the infamous XXXL gloves. The first thing out of my mouth was, "Wow, you must have a giant dick" and all of his friends bursted out laughing.

I have heard this story from multiple people. Still isn't old. In fact, it gets better with each new person who tells it.

Massively hammered. Asking to compare hands. Massive dick comment. It just amuses me the more I know about how many people have brought up his junk.

I noticed your icon..Duke or VT this Saturday?

Nice find, hopefully he can stick around and play well.

As a life-long Packer fan and Hokie, this was one of the more enjoyable wins I've witnessed. Couldn't be happier for Boykin, hope he continues to have success in Green Bay. Maybe get a rang or two.

Not the bagman VT deserves, but the bagman VT needs right now.

GO PACK GO!

No, I *don't* want to go to the SEC. Why do you ask?

We don't love dem Hoos.

I hope Jarrett Boykin gets 100 catches for 1000 yards and 10 td every game and the packers lose.

You had me until that last part. GO PACK GO

Heads up for Jordy to snatch his first TD ball from Boykin's hands and hold it for him while pushing him to his first leap.

Was just a matter of time for him and we all knew what he could do. Really happy for the kid and good for Hokie Nation. He was a special player here.
