Boyd and Narduzzi met Thursday to discuss Boyd's options. Narduzzi said he reached out to four NFL general managers to gauge Boyd's prospects.

Boyd became the first player in ACC history to have 1,000-yard receiving seasons as a freshman and a sophomore. He ended his junior season with 92 receptions for 926 yards and six touchdowns. From Clairton, he was a two-time All-ACC first-team selection and figures to be among the top wide receivers available during the draft.
