Kayshon Boutte

PositiveBreakout0:02

Kayshon Boutte is an explosive, tough player with great contact balance whom the team intends to utilize in multiple ways, including punt returns, kick returns, screens, shallow routes, and downfield routes. Matt Harmon notes that Boutte is currently overlooked due to the hype surrounding Ja'Lynn Polk, despite possessing a stronger college profile and demonstrating the ability to get open as a downfield receiver with a 12.4 aDOT in his final season. Harmon suggests Boutte is a better candidate than Polk to fill a high-volume, primary receiver role similar to Zay Flowers.

0:00Monken said, "From what we saw when we
0:02drafted Kayshon Boutte and then getting
0:04him and then getting him here, I hope
0:06we're trying to get him the ball as
0:08often as we can. That dude is explosive.
0:11He's tough. He's got great contact
0:13balance. He understands situational
0:15football. We've got to find a number of
0:18ways to get him the ball, whether that's
0:20punt return, kick return, screens,
0:22shallows, down the field routes. He's
0:25going to be a real weapon for us. That's
0:29that's a lot of things that he
0:31that he mentioned there. And uh also, by
0:33the way, on Draft Kings, you do
0:35get points for punt return and kick
0:38return touchdowns for for these players.
0:40So,
0:41the thing with Boutte, this is this is
0:42kind of like
0:44you know, as we get kind of
0:46almost through August now, I am
0:49try like it's funny because before
0:51August starts, I'm like, we're going to
0:52learn a lot about, you know, these depth
0:54charts. Like, we don't you don't want to
0:55just kind of be blindly swinging at some
0:57of these really low
0:58low floor situations. But, I feel like
1:00at the end of August,
1:02all I hear now is what has happened in
1:04August as if that's the only thing. And
1:06so, I am try It's nice to get stuff like
1:09this on Boutte because we got so much on
1:11Boston.
1:12To the point where it felt like Boutte
1:14is getting forgotten about. And you'd
1:17even hear stuff like from beats like,
1:19"Hey, by the way, Boutte looks really
1:20good." As excited as as Boston has been,
1:23exciting as he's been, Boutte
1:25is has been really good, too. And
1:28when you look at the profiles for these
1:30guys, Boston is more of the the X
1:32receiver. He's going to be the starting
1:33X day one, it looks like. And that's
1:35awesome that he's earned that. Not every
1:36second round pick's going to do that.
1:38So,
1:39it is quite bullish. But, Boutte
1:42has a much stronger college profile and
1:45has done multiple things that are really
1:48exciting
1:49at an NFL level. He's a really great
1:51route runner, per Matt Harmon's
1:53charting, uh in his final season. And
1:55kind of a traditional receiver with like
1:57an eight odd that I believe was like
1:5812.4 something like that. And so he was
2:01like a downfield receiver who's getting
2:03open. That's cool. He was previously
2:06kind of a ball in hand, you know, yak
2:09guy.
2:10It look was a little gimmicky at times.
2:12It was a little bit, you know, like
2:15schemed and that makes you concerned if
2:18he also can't get open.
2:20>> Mhm.
2:20>> But in combination with being able to
2:22get open in an impressive way in a true
2:25junior season
2:27and then getting drafted in the first
2:28round,
2:30that's actually pretty awesome. So, you
2:32know, he has the potential to be like a
2:34true number one receiver for this team
2:37in a fantasy kind of way where like
2:41who's going to be maybe the Zay Flowers
2:42in this team? He He is a much better
2:45candidate for that than Boston.
