if hes ripped and has muscles, i think about 200 is fine. but 220 is a little beefy. but i wouldnt know, i never met him before.

Average weights given for people are set up for the average person of average build at a certain age.
In other words, someone who does enough cardio to keep the weight off, and thats about it.
Your boyfriend is probably pumping weights at least 2-3 times a week, I played football all 4 years and thats how it was all year long. Even during the summer we showed up to work out to keep in shape for the coming season.
If he doesn't have a huge gut (the place where guys put it on first, generally) then more than likely he's not only fine, but in great shape.
I was a lineman in high school, I'm a good half a foot taller than your boyfriend is, but I also outweighed him by 40-50 lbs.
In his case, BMI is a very bad measurement to use. Instead what you want is body fat percentage. Thats going to tell you more about his shape than anything, he should be somewhere hopefully between 8-12 percent, thats considered very normal and healthy.
To give you an idea, I was 6'2 by my senior year, weighed 275, and had a body fat percentage of about 17%. Above normal, but not by a whole lot. I'm just kinda massive. Some guys have that build.

if he doesnt have a gut and hes a football player that works out all the time, its probably all muscle. muscles weighs more than fat so thats what probably gives him that number and the thick look. dont worry about it, hes good!

Reading around, 220 pounds can be classified as overweight, but not obese. Normal should be around the 100's give or take.
When you say 'thick', what do you mean by that?
