In the fourth installment of Crawford's Commentary this spring, staff writer Ken Crawford catches up with last year's leading receiver Nyan Boateng. So far, the spring has been a "business as usual" month for the Brooklyn native, but there's no question Boateng is still one of the more talented and now experienced offensive weapons on the roster. Boateng caught a team-high 29 balls for 439 yards and 5 touchdowns last season and will likely at least match those numbers again this upcoming year.
