Josh Boyd NFL Draft Bio

Josh Boyd (born August 3, 1989) is an American football defensive end for the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League. He was drafted by the Packers in the fifth round of the 2013 NFL Draft out of Mississippi State.

Boyd was born in Jackson, Mississippi and attended Philadelphia High School in Mississippi. He lettered in both Basketball, and football. During his junior year he registered 154 tackles (27 for loss), and eight sacks. Additionally, he also blocked two field goals and extra points. His performance earned him first-team All State honors by the Jackson Clarion-Ledger and second-team all-state in all other classifications. His success continued on in to his senior year, as he had 112 tackles, seven sacks, three fumble recoveries and a blocked kick. His performance lead to more honors including being selected to play in the Mississippi-Alabama High School All-Star game and the U.S. Army All-American Bowl.

Boyd ultimately signed his letter of intent to become a Mississippi State Bulldog. He played in all 12 games during his first year on the team and started three of them. During his first game, against Jackson State, he had two tackles. He had his season high in tackles against Georgia Tech.

During his sophomore year, Boyd started every game at defensive tackle. During a Southeastern Conference battle against the Kentucky Wildcats, he had five tackles (2.5 for loss) and one and a half sacks. He finished the season with 24 tackles and 2.5 sacks on the year.

The next year Boyd played in all 13 games with the Bulldogs and started every game but one of them. During the season opener against Memphis he had his first sack of the season. He continued on against LSU where he had seven tackles, two of which were solo. He finished the season with a career-high 51 tackles (14 solo), eight tackles for a loss, and 4.5 sacks.

Going in to his final year with the team, Boyd was named a second-team preseason All-American by Athlon Sports. He was also on the watchlist for the Outland Trophy, given to the best interior lineman each year. In another SEC conference clash, Boyd registered his first fumble recovery in his career. Later that year, during a game against Texas A&M, he blocked a 33-yard field goal on the final play on the first half. He finished the final year of his college career with 33 tackles and 1.5 sacks.
