Bill Davis: Brandon Boykin’s height won’t stop him from starting on outside
Brandon Boykin, Damaris JohnsonThe Eagles spent the offseason bringing in cornerbacks that are taller than Brandon Boykin as part of the effort to remake a secondary that was lagging last year, which led Boykin to say that he expects to remain in his post as the team’s slot cornerback despite Chip Kelly saying he’d have a chance to compete for a starting role on the outside of the defense.
Boykin said he thinks the team has “certain requirements” for the outside cornerback jobs and that height is a big one, but defensive coordinator Bill Davis said that isn’t the case.
