NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah noted that Clemson QB Tajh Boyd's stock fell further on Saturday against South Carolina.
Boyd failed to throw a touchdown pass in the 31-17 loss at South Carolina. More troubling, he turned the ball over three times, including two interceptions and a fumble. Boyd finishes his career 0-4 record against the archrival Gamecocks, including 0-3 as a starter. "He was under pressure throughout the game, but he could've avoided a few sacks with better pocket movement/awareness," Jeremiah wrote. Dec 2 - 9:46 PM

Clemson QB Tajh Boyd will attend the Senior Bowl.

Boyd was an obvious invite for the event and could really help his evaluation with a solid week. At Clemson, Boyd displayed great pocket movement and an ability to throw from multiple platforms, but his placement and read progressions can be questioned.

Clemson QB Tajh Boyd ranks as ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper's No. 8 senior passer.

"Proven performer and leader with ability to make all the throws," Kiper writes. "Lacks height but moves well and has improved decision-making." This slots Boyd behind the likes of Logan Thomas and Tom Savage. If this is any indication, Boyd could be drafted much later than we originally thought. Possibly in the sixth- or seventh-round.

Clemson senior QB Tajh Boyd completed 21 of 28 attempts for 288 yards and five touchdowns in the school's 52-6 win over the Citadel.

Boyd was pulled from the game later on. The competition was down, and Boyd likely won't be able to change his evaluation until bowl season or during the draft process. We expect him to earn a Senior Bowl invitation.

Clemson senior QB Tajh Boyd is "fine" after injuring his left shoulder against Georgia Tech.

Boyd will practice fully this week. The injury looked scary at first, with Boyd needing assistance to remove his pads, but the school quickly determined there were no breaks. Hopefully he ends his final season on a high.

On the sideline, Boyd told media members "no break. I'll be fine." The injury was to Boyd's non-throwing shoulder. He broke Phillip Rivers' conference career passing touchdown record of 95. Boyd now sits at 97.

Steelers GM Kevin Colbert was in attendance for Thursday's game between Clemson and Georgia Tech.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport announced the news during Thursday Night Football. Rapoport then specifically mentioned quarterback Tajh Boyd as a prospect Colbert was scouting. Obviously any decision maker will be checking out Boyd, but Sammy Watkins and Vic Beasley are two other prospects worth plenty of attention.

Clemson senior QB Tajh Boyd left Thursday's game against Georgia Tech in the third quarter due to a left shoulder injury.

It's Boyd's non-throwing arm. Boyd went to the locker room but returned to the sidelines in the fourth quarter. Clemson coach Dabo Sweeney isn't likely to re-insert Boyd into the game with a 24-point lead.

Clemson senior QB Tajh Boy completed 24 of 29 attempts for 377 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception in the school's 59-10 win over Virginia.

Boyd added another touchdown on the ground. The senior connected with his favorite target, junior Sammy Watkins, from his own four yard line on a vertical route. Watkins did the rest on the 96 yard score. Boyd can still play better, and he needs to improve his trajectory on downfield passes.

NFL.com's Bucky Brooks wrote that Clemson senior QB Tajh Boyd "is not a franchise quarterback."

"He hasn't shown enough consistency in his play to be considered a franchise quarterback in NFL circles," writes Brooks. An AFC scout with whom Brooks spoke agreed: "He has some nice tools, but I don't know if he is a frontline player." Brooks believes that it's important for Boyd to play big in a showcase game after the quarterback's implosion against Florida State. Clemson has marquee contests against Georgia Tech and South Carolina coming up.

Clemson senior QB Tajh Boyd completed 28 of 41 attempts for 304 yards, one touchdown and one interception in the school's 40-27 win over Maryland.

Boyd added 24 yards and a touchdown on the ground. The senior injured his left knee early in this game, and it showed in terms of his balance when throwing from the pocket and when he attempted to find throwing space in trash. Boyd's interception came on a miscommunication against the blitz.

NFL.com's Bucky Brooks dropped Clemson senior Tajh Boyd from his No. 3 QB to No. 7.

"The disappointing performance against the Seminoles was one of the worst of his career and scouts will certainly have questions about his leadership skills after watching Clemson outclassed in the battle of ACC heavyweights," Brooks writes. We think Boyd looked uncharacteristically poor against Florida State, but his placement on multiple read plays is a legitimate concern.

Clemson senior QB Tajh Boyd looked terrible against Florida State, completing 17 of 37 attempts for 156 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in the school's 51-14 loss.

Something was up with Boyd throughout the game, showing less velocity to hit tight windows. Florida State's defense was able to tip and undercut many of his short to intermediate targets. We saw Boyd force many passes to his first read, something that stood out in a negative way during his junior season. The veteran passer has displayed the ability to work through progressions with pocket movement, but he was a letdown in this contest.
