The Facts: The Panthers announced they have signed Boykin, the former Packers wide receiver, to a one-year contract.
Diehards Line:Boykin spent three years with the Packers, but became a free agent when they didn’t tender him an offer this offseason. He caught 49 passes in 2013, but fell down the pecking order when the regulars got well and caught just three passes last year. Boykin grew up in Charlotte, attending Butler High, and as PFT suggests, he has a chance to latch on in a much shallower depth chart than the one he was stuck on in Green Bay.
