Overview
- Greenberg, who made the claim during the Browns’ No. 39 pick Friday, said on ESPN that Denzel Boston was former receiver David Boston’s son.
- Hours later in Round 3, he apologized on air, called it a research mistake, and clarified the two Bostons are not related.
- Multiple outlets note Denzel’s parents are Chris and Rechelle Boston, with his father visible next to him during the broadcast.
- The slip followed earlier draft miscues for Greenberg, including failing to note the Dolphins’ trade up to No. 27 to select cornerback Chris Johnson despite graphics and the commissioner’s announcement.
- The swift correction has focused attention on how fast-moving draft shows juggle live analysis with personal details that require rapid verification.
