Manuel is a smooth cover corner who is very skilled at not allowing separation. He is a natural man-to-man corner for running the route and blanketing receivers. While Manuel does not have great size, he is fast and twitchy to run with wideouts to keep them from getting open. That fluid agility lets him flip his hips and run with wide receivers vertically and keep them from getting open downfield.

He does an excellent job of reading the offense and getting himself in position to make plays. Boyd is instinctive in his route diagnosis, aware of what the offensive is trying to do, and reacts quickly. Helped by his instincts getting him in position, Boyd is a smooth cover corner to run the route and prevent separation. He is very calm and comfortable with the ball in the air, showing a knack for timing his contact well to avoid penalties while breaking up passes. Boyd has enough size to match up with big wideouts and the speed to handle fast players. He could be developed into a versatile corner who can play outside, inside in the slot, and perform in a variety of techniques like off-man, press-man, or zone.
