for a fifth round draft pick. boykin was drafted in the fourth round in 2012 but was relegated to playing in the slot rather than the outside because of his height. he's only 5'10". his interception in the 2015 division finale clinched the division against the cowboys. boykin tweeted out the following upon his trade. quote, to the city of philadelphia, it's bin real. you know i always played my heart out every time i hit the field. all got love for you. yesterday boykin's now former teammates arrived at the nocacare complex to check in for training camp including receiver, riley cooper. camp
