As Quandre Diggs still likes to say, the Texas Longhorns need players with that dog in them.
Senior cornerback Kris Boyd has so much that is was the best analogy head coach Tom Herman could come up with when discussing the former Gilmer standout and 2015 US Army All-American.
“He loves football,” Herman said last week. “Now, there are times, like a hyper dog, you’ve got to yank on the leash every now and then. You’d much rather yank on leashes than kick butts to get them in gear.”
So consider Boyd much closer to a pit bull or a boxer than, say, a lazy English bulldog.
