Tim Boyle is an American professional gridball quarterback for the New York Jets of the National Football League (NFL). He entered the league as an undrafted free agent with the Green Bay Packers in 2018 and has also played for the Detroit Lions. Boyle played college football at the University of Connecticut before transferring to Eastern Kentucky University.
Boyle was born and raised in Middletown, Connecticut, and attended Xavier High School. As a senior, he led the Falcons to a Class LL state championship and was named Gatorade Player of the Year for Connecticut. He committed to play college football for the UConn Huskies under head coach Paul Pasqualoni. At UConn, Boyle saw limited playing time across multiple seasons, sharing the quarterback role with Chandler Whitmer and others during a period of coaching transition that included Bob Diaco. Seeking a fresh start, he transferred to Eastern Kentucky University, part of the Ohio Valley Conference, for his final year of collegiate eligibility.
After going undrafted in the 2018 NFL Draft, Boyle signed with the Green Bay Packers. He spent three seasons in Green Bay, primarily as a backup to star quarterback Aaron Rodgers, learning under head coach Matt LaFleur and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett. Boyle saw his first regular-season action in 2020. In 2021, he signed with the Detroit Lions, reuniting with former Packers executive Brad Holmes and head coach Dan Campbell. Boyle started three games for the Lions that season before being released. He subsequently returned to the New York Jets practice squad in 2022, where he was familiar with the offensive system run by Nathaniel Hackett, who had become the Jets' offensive coordinator. Boyle was promoted to the active roster during the 2023 season and started games for the Jets following an injury to starting quarterback Zach Wilson.
Boyle maintains a relatively private off-field life. He has been involved in community initiatives in the areas where he has played, including events with the Green Bay Packers Foundation and outreach programs in Detroit. His younger brother, Jack Boyle, played college football as a tight end at the University of Maryland.
