The Cleveland Browns selected Washington WR Denzel Boston in the second round (Pick 39) of the 2026 NFL Draft. A three-star recruit out of Emerald Ridge High School in Tacoma, Boston stayed home at Washington. He spent his first two seasons buried behind Jalen McMillan, Rome Odunze, and Ja’Lynn Polk before stepping into the starting lineup as a junior. Once the opportunity arrived, the production followed. Boston posted near-identical stat lines across his final two seasons: 63-834-9 and 62-881-11. His underlying numbers popped in his final season, with his yards per catch (14.2), PFF receiving grade (87.2), and yards per route run (2.44) marking career highs. At 6’4, 212 pounds, Boston isn’t a burner but wins with route polish, ball tracking, and a proven ability to thrive in contested situations.
