Boston had a breakout year in 2025, with 62 catches for 881 yards and 11 touchdowns making him a potential fit for their outside receiver role. Earlier this week, the team met with Southern Methodist running back TJ Hardin at his pro day. Hardin led his squad last season with 171 carries for 787 yards, 9 scores, and a 4.6 average. Plus some receiving work out of the backfield. These moves show their scouting versatile skill players to bolster the offense.
