Prior to the 2015 NFL draft Boyko gained interest from several NFL teams and he also participated in the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, in February 2015. Boyko was ranked as the number one overall prospect in the Canadian Football League Scouting Bureau's September rankings heading into the 2015 CFL draft and later fell to 2nd place in the December rankings. The uncertainty of whether he would stay in the NFL led Boyko to get drafted 14th overall in the 2015 CFL draft by the BC Lions. Despite the interest, Boyko was not drafted by any team in the 2015 NFL draft.

Boyko was signed by the Philadelphia Eagles as an undrafted free agent on May 2, 2015. On September 4, 2015, Boyko was cut in the last round on preseason cuts. On September 6, 2015, Boyko was signed to the Philadelphia Eagles practice squad. On May 17, 2016, Boyko was released by the Eagles.

He was promoted to the active roster on December 19, 2017. He was waived by the Chargers on December 29, 2017. He signed a reserve/future contract with the Chargers on January 1, 2018. On September 1, 2018, Boyko was waived by the Chargers.
