Boykin says Chip Kelly ‘uncomfortable around grown men of our culture’

It’s not the first time it’s been suggested by a former player that Kelly couldn’t relate to black players. “He likes total control of everything, and he don’t like to be uncomfortable”.

It was tough for McCoy to take being traded to Buffalo. Bradford is one of several new faces, joining All-Pro running back DeMarco Murray and rookie wide receiver Nelson Agholor. Boykin added, “He can’t relate and that makes him uncomfortable”.

Kendricks, Kiko Alonso and DeMeco Ryans will be the top inside linebackers in Philly this season and Kendricks says they’re “just rotating” during practices right now. Everybody here is fine. “As far as myself, it doesn’t mean much to me”. Somebody’s let go and they don’t want to leave and then they’re going to be upset.

Boykin has everything you would want in a football player, but he doesn’t have height or long arms. “I can buy into that”. It’s also important to note just how good Boykin actually was out of the slot.
