summary

summary

Denzel Boston is a long, physically imposing boundary receiver with strong contested-catch ability and red-zone finishing traits. At 6'4", 210 lbs, Boston brings prototypical outside receiver size paired with build-up speed and catch-point dominance.

After developing within Washington’s deep receiver rotation, Boston emerged as a featured perimeter target, thriving on fades, posts, and back-shoulder throws. He wins with length, timing, and body positioning rather than elite suddenness.

While his route tree and separation quickness remain developmental, his size, ball skills, and scoring upside project him as a valuable possession-vertical weapon at the NFL level.
