Mentioning his name has me pumping the brakes on my Hayes excitement. Cause Boykin was getting even more hype that first camp.

That's true. But lots of Ravens WRs in general were hyped when practicing in shorts, before eventually failing to meet lofting expectations when live bullets started flying. Randy Hymes anyone? Clarance Moore? Chris Moore? Tim White? I could go on.

Whereas, we just showed that the team has a solid history of developing linebacker types. We didn't even mention the UDFAs.

I'd be more inclined to pump brakes if there was early hype about Wallace being a total steal.

The hype for Moore and Hymes was that they might be viable NFL WRs. The hype with Boykin was that he was a poor man’s Calvin Johnson

Sign of the times NJ. Every statement has to be hyperbolic or a hot take in order to get anyone to pay attention and respond. If Twitter existed in the Randy Hymes/Clarence Moore days, the hype would have been bigger.

Here's the only Moore highlights I could find:

Couldn't find any specifically for Hymes - but check out this throwback of the biggest blowout in
MNF history (Sorry GJennings85)

Demetrius Williams. Ohh man I remember everyone having such high hopes for him.

I mean it was from legitimate reporters, not Twitter people. He supposedly looked absolutely amazing to everyone who saw him.

That's the name I was trying to come up with! My brain kept giving me Tandon Doss instead. Flacco's Favorite!

I do remember being at that game. Didn't Boller have a good game against the Lions at the end of the season too?

Watching it again I'm reminded how messed up his mechanics were. The QB that came with my electric football game when I was a kid looked more natural.
