Despite playing four seasons of solid football at the nickelback position Brandon Boykin has yet to find a real home in the NFL.
Originally a fourth round pick out of Georgia by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2012, Boykin is one of the true sleeping superstars of the sport. In his rookie season under Andy Reid he defended seven passes despite getting limited playing time.
Boykin burst onto the scene in year one of the Chip Kelly era. He tallied six interceptions and 16 passes defended and made a name for himself as an up and comer and perhaps the top nickelback in the league.
