Free-agent WR Tyler Boyd confirms strong interest in playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Cincinnati Bengals veteran says his hometown connection and family support are key factors.

Boyd, a Pittsburgh native and Pitt alum, has a good relationship with Coach Mike Tomlin.

He believes he still has "a few more years" of high-level play left in his NFL career.

After a quiet free agency, Boyd expects interest to pick up as training camps near.

The Steelers have a glaring need at receiver following the George Pickens trade.

Boyd's experience and reliable slot play could perfectly complement DK Metcalf.

His last season with the Titans was statistically down, but due to poor QB play.

A projected $2.2 million contract could make him a cost-effective veteran addition.

Could this be the full-circle story of a hometown hero returning to the black and gold?
