Denzel Boston-WR-Washington | Page 4

Phoenix49ers · 2025-12-28T12:16:32-08:00

Big bodied receiver with some small receiver traits. Plays like a traditional bigger receiver, great red zone weapon, strong hands, uses his body well to block out defenders like a center in basketball, great at high pointing the football but also a steadily improving route runner who excels against both man and zone coverage. Great awareness at finding empty spots in the zone and will quickly move towards the QB when they are scrambling. Like Jennings he's great at snatching passes up high and beating out DB's for the football. Not a speed demon, probably a 4.55-4.6 40 guy but he's a long strider with the ability to run right past CB's if they hesitate. I think he'd be a nice complement to a guy like Pearsall and a great weapon for Purdy, particularly in the red zone. He's also a very willing and determined blocker so that definitely helps him in this offense. I see him as a very high end #2 WR in the NFL, a guy who will be a major threat on 3rd downs and around the goal line because of his ability to block out and beat out DBs to the football. More aggressive than a Keon Coleman and a better separator than someone like N'Keal Harry. Denzel Boston is such a smooth route runner for a guy his size https://t.co/N0Sp6VqqaI pic.twitter.com/LAJpNoOrBI— NFL Draft Files (@NFL_DF) December 24, 2025Denzel Boston taking a punt for a TD. 6'4" 210 pound returners are cool pic.twitter.com/qlwNl1yZzB— Nate Tice (@Nate_Tice) September 7, 2025Washington X-WR Denzel Boston (6-4 209) waited his turn behind Rome Odunze, Ja'Lynn Polk, Jalen McMillan, & Germie Bernard; all drafted in the first three rounds of the Draft🐺Strong hands pluck the ball out of the air (<5% drop rate)🐺High-pointer (54%+ contested catches)… https://t.co/jHEMN94mL1 pic.twitter.com/OIUaKUiL5V— Clint Goss (@NFLDraftDome) December 25, 2025Denzel Boston's 8??

Who knows... That was my guy at 33 if we went WR.

Boston is good but i think he has less versitility and definitely has less speed than Stribling.

I have a hard time seeing Boston as anything but an X WR from what i remember when is aw him very technically sound good route runner and amazing hands probably best in class especially against contested catches but he had poor separation which i think we really wanted to have.

Thats like saying Randy Moss was just a 1 trick pony that could only go deep while Dante Pettis had way more versatility.

Pettis is the pick for this offense in that scenario?

Moss had way more speed didnt moss run a 4.3

If Stribling doesn't end up better than Boston it's gonna piss me off all over again.

I wanted Lamb over Aiyuk and while both are divas, it's pretty clear who the better choice would've been now.

it's early, but atm, it's definitely looking like Boston and Stribling are the best rookie WRs. The way Strib has looked lately tho he might be different...

Boston balling out today while Stribling sits on IR... Effing sucks. I think Stribling can be good but it was obvious Boston was NFL ready to me.

Boston always felt like a hit but people couldn't get behind the testing numbers.

Film continually proved he could translate to the NFL. It's early but I'm not shocked at all https://t.co/ibghUrVHL2

Only a couple games, but he's got dogs**t throwing him the ball.

I thought he had a chance to be a good WR
