Amidst a 2002 season of high turnover among placekickers on the Jacksonville Jaguars team, Boyd was signed to the squad with four games remaining. He became the fourth player to assume kicking duties in the regular season that year for the Jaguars.[3] All of his scoring attempts went through the uprights, as he was a perfect 5 for 5 on field goals and 7 for 7 on extra points for a total of 22 points.[4] He also had 17 kickoffs.

Boyd was waived on August 25, 2003.[5]
