Summary
Denzel Boston is a big, powerful receiver who plays with the movement skills of a much smaller player. He’s dangerous after the catch and tough to bring down in space. Boston can win at all three levels, and he brings value as both a blocker and in the return game. Bottom line: His size, strength and reliability make him a difficult matchup.

Browns' Denzel Boston: Picked by Browns
The Browns selected Boston in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 39th overall.
Boston (6-foot-4, 212 pounds) has the build to impose physicality and reach from the boundary, where he did big damage especially as a downfield and red-zone jump-ball target at Washington. That Boston declined to run a 40-yard dash before the draft invites the suspicion that he might lack the long speed to regularly push downfield at the NFL level, but if he can keep winning on jump balls in the intermediate and end zone then that might be enough for Boston to prove a quality WR2 in the NFL. It might not be easy for Boston to immediately displace Cedric Tillman as the primary big wideout in Cleveland, but in the long term it's expected that Boston and 24th overall pick KC Concepcion should top the Browns' depth chart at wideout.
