PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT
Denzel Boston enters the 2025 season as one of the most physically imposing and ascending boundary receivers in the 2026 draft class. With prototypical X-receiver size at 6’4”, 209, Boston wins with strong hands, body control, and vertical timing. His 9 touchdown receptions in 2024 came in a post-Odunze era for Washington, where he emerged as a red-zone standout and reliable intermediate option. While he lacks suddenness and struggles to separate versus tight man, Boston's ability to high-point, shield defenders, and adjust to off-target throws gives quarterbacks a massive strike zone. In a vertical play-action scheme or one that leans on size mismatches, Boston projects as a rotational WR3 with WR2 upside.
CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS
Mid-Level Starter Potential (60-64)
A solid, dependable starter with the potential to exceed expectations. They have good athleticism and tools but may lack elite traits. While they show flashes of high-level play, they also have some notable weaknesses that must be developed. These players often need 2-3 years to establish themselves.
