Career
Boyett played college football for the Oregon Ducks. He was selected by the Indianapolis Colts during the sixth round in the 2013 NFL draft. He signed with the Colts on May 9,[1] and was placed on the non-football injury list on July 23, 2013.[2] On September 3, 2013, he was released by the Colts after being arrested the day prior for disorderly conduct, public intoxication and resisting law enforcement.[3] Boyett tried to enter a bar and was turned away for being already intoxicated. After refusing to leave, the police were called and he reportedly threatened officers and said "You can’t arrest me, I’m a Colts player" after attempting to flee.[4] Boyett issued an apology on September 4.[3]
Boyett was signed to the Denver Broncos' practice squad on November 19, 2013.[5] He was released by the Broncos on October 23, 2014, following an arrest for third degree assault, theft, and harassment.[6][7] After headbutting a cab driver, Boyett reportedly stole a shovel from a nearby construction site and attempted to cover himself in mulch. After being found, he demanded the officers call John Elway before repeatedly hitting his head against a patrol car window while yelling and spitting.[6][8]
