In a crowded wide receiver class, the combine could be a way for Washington Huskies Wide Receiver Denzel Boston to make a name for himself.
The Third Team All-Big Ten receiver doing combine drills is smart, as Boston has great athleticism in his game. It could be his way to stand out in this class and to go higher in the draft than some may think. So, how does Boston project at the NFL level, and what would be a good landing spot for him?
Denzel Boston’s Scouting Report and NFL Draft Projection
Here is Boston’s Scouting Report from the PFSN Mock Draft Simulator.
Introducing him, “Denzel Boston entered his junior season at Washington poised to headline the Huskies’ receiving corps after waiting his turn behind NFL-bound stars like Rome Odunze, Ja’Lynn Polk, and Jalen McMillan.”
Talking of his athletic stature, “Standing at 6’4″ and 209 pounds, Boston broke out in 2024 with a 63-834-9 receiving line, thriving as a red-zone mismatch and showing off his expansive catch radius and reliable hands. While not an especially twitchy athlete, Boston moves efficiently for his size, stacks cornerbacks on the outside with smooth explosion and long-strider speed, and competes well through contact.”
Highlighting his performances, “He boasted a miniscule 1.2% drop rate in 2025 per TruMedia, while hauling in 881 yards and 11 TDs on 62 receptions. Boston’s ability to high-point passes and make difficult grabs makes him a go-to weapon when space tightens, and he magnifies his vice-grip hand strength with intelligent timing control and catch-point positioning.”
“With more than enough fluidity, tempo management skills, and zone IQ to function as a route runner, Boston has an appealing X-receiver profile and has impact starter potential.”
In PFSN’s recent 7-Round NFL Mock Draft by Jacob Infante, Boston is up as the 24th pick for the Cleveland Browns. Infante’s pick clarified the reasons for the pick.
“After taking an offensive tackle with the first of their two picks in Round 1, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Browns hone in on a wide receiver with the pick they got from Jacksonville. Their top wide receiver in 2025 was Jerry Jeudy with 602 yards, and he was their only player at the position with over 350 receiving yards all year,” he wrote.
Infante continued, “He has impressive ball skills and coordination to high-point the ball and square up to it properly. As a route runner, Boston uses his hands well through his stems and can attack leverage points by adjusting his footwork to exploit a cornerback’s blind spot.”
