Boyd played for legendary coaches Lou Holtz and Steve Spurrier while at South Carolina.
Boyd was signed to the practice squad of the Denver Broncos on November 4, 2008 after running back P. J. Pope was promoted to the active roster.
Boyd was promoted to the active roster on December 9 when fullback Peyton Hillis was placed on injured reserve.
He was then put back onto the active roster for Week 17 of the 2008 season following the season-ending injuries to Selvin Young and P.J.
Boyd saw limited playing time (76 yards through 8 games) as the Eskimos backfield became very crowded with Hugh Charles and Jerome Messam.
