Seattle Seahawks

[edit]

Boykin signed with the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted free agent following the 2016 NFL draft.[12][13] Boykin opened the 2016 preseason as the Seahawks' primary backup behind starter Russell Wilson ahead of Jake Heaps. In his first preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs, Boykin completed 16 of 26 passes for 188 yards and one touchdown. He led an 88-yard game-winning drive that was capped off with a 37-yard pass to Tanner McEvoy as time expired. The Seahawks would go on to win, 17–16.[14] Heaps was waived following the preseason, leaving Boykin as the lone backup quarterback on the roster.

Boykin threw his first regular season NFL touchdown pass (16 yards to Doug Baldwin) on September 25, 2016, at home against the San Francisco 49ers in the fourth quarter. Boykin had entered the game midway through the third quarter, with the game already largely in hand, after starter Russell Wilson suffered an MCL sprain. The Seahawks won the game, 37–18. As a rookie in 2016, Boykin appeared in five games and finished the year with 145 passing yards with a touchdown and an interception.

Boykin entered the 2017 preseason competing with Austin Davis to backup Wilson. Although Boykin started his preseason well, he threw 4 interceptions in his final 2 games while Davis threw no picks during preseason. On September 2, 2017, Boykin was waived, officially losing the job to Davis, and was signed to the practice squad the next day.[15][16] He signed a reserve/future contract with the Seahawks on January 2, 2018.[17]

In the wake of domestic assault allegations, the Seahawks released Boykin on March 27, 2018.[18]

Galgos de Tijuana

[edit]

On January 18, 2023, following his release from prison, Boykin signed with the Galgos de Tijuana of the Mexican Liga de Fútbol Americano Profesional (LFA) ahead of the 2023 LFA season.[19] On November 7, 2023, Boykin signed with the Massachusetts Pirates of the Indoor Football League (IFL), but decided to return to the Galgos de Tijuana.[20][21]

On December 31, 2015, two days prior to the 2016 Alamo Bowl, which was to be Boykin's final college game, he was arrested in San Antonio, Texas after a bar fight in which he threw a punch that hit a patrol officer. He was charged with assaulting a public servant, a third degree felony, assigned a $5,000 bond, and suspended from the game. He also was charged for public intoxication and resisting arrest. Boykin pleaded no contest, and received a year of probation. As part of his probation, he was ordered to attend alcohol awareness sessions and anger management classes. He was also fined $1,500, and ordered to undergo 80 hours of community service.[23][24]

On March 27, 2017, Boykin was arrested in Dallas, Texas, for misdemeanor charges of possession of marijuana and public intoxication. He was in the passenger seat of a car that, while backing up at high speeds, struck pedestrians on a nearby sidewalk and then the side of a local bar. The driver was charged with two counts of felony intoxication assault with a vehicle. Boykin was held on a $500 bond at the Dallas County Jail.[25][26] On April 6, 2017, Boykin was arrested in Texas for a possible violation of his probation.[27]

On March 27, 2018, a report was made that Boykin had broken his girlfriend's (Shabrika Bailey) jaw during an altercation the previous week. Subsequently, Boykin was released by the Seahawks.[28] He was later charged with aggravated assault causing bodily injury. In June 2019, he was given additional charges of aggravated assault of a family member with a deadly weapon and tampering with a witness following the March 2018 incident.[29] On November 6, 2019, Boykin was arrested for violating conditions of his bond. While still in police custody on December 9, he was charged with misdemeanor theft for failing to pay for a hotel stay from October 29. He was charged with an additional two counts of misdemeanor theft on December 30 after agreeing to sell TCU memorabilia, receiving payments, and refusing to deliver them in January 2019.[30][31] On February 27, 2020, Boykin was sentenced to three years in prison for the assault on Bailey after pleading guilty to aggravated assault and witness tampering.[32][33]
