Professional career

Boyle signed with the Green Bay Packers as an undrafted free agent on May 4, 2018.[5][6] After an impressive preseason, Boyle made the 53-man roster in September 2018, as the team's third string quarterback behind Aaron Rodgers and DeShone Kizer.[7]

Boyle did not play during the 2018 regular season. He saw his first professional playing time on October 20, 2019, during a Week 7 win over the Oakland Raiders. Boyle took over for Rodgers during the final minutes of the game after victory was assured, kneeling the ball 3 times for −3 yards to run out the clock.[8] He saw more extended playing time on November 24, 2019 during a lopsided Week 12 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, completing his first NFL pass to backup tight end Robert Tonyan. He finished the game 3-of-4 for 15 yards.[9]
