Former Gamecock running back Cory Boyd is getting an opportunity to play in the Canadian Football League with the Toronto Argonauts. Click here to read more.
The Boyd that was signed by the Argos in March is a religious man who was married in January 2009 and changed his workout schedule drastically in the off-season at home in Aurora, Colo. Boyd often began training at midnight, going until 4 a.m., so his schedule would balance more with his wife Brittany's work hours.
"I wanted to spend time with my family (his wife and a cousin) when they got off work," Boyd said. "When they went to sleep I went to work out. It planned out well."
That passion on the part of the 6-foot-1, 214-pound Boyd impressed Barker. Now, Boyd wants to re-pay Barker's faith. The decision to hang on to Boyd looked a lot smarter when running back DeCori Birmingham retired suddenly on Wednesday.
