Steelers Host Washington WR Denzel Boston on Pre-Draft Visit

Unverified long speed keeps his draft ceiling in flux.

Overview

  • The Athletic reports Pittsburgh is hosting the 6-foot-4 Washington standout for a pre-draft visit as part of its receiver evaluations.
  • Boston drew positive reviews at his pro day for polished route work and strong hands, with reported marks of a 6.80 three-cone, roughly a 4.2–4.3 shuttle, and a 37.5-inch vertical.
  • He skipped the 40-yard dash at both the NFL Combine and Washington’s pro day, reportedly on agent advice, leaving teams without an official speed time.
  • The former third-team All–Big Ten selection posted 62 receptions for 881 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2025, and he is widely viewed as a borderline first-round prospect.
  • Even after acquiring Michael Pittman Jr. to pair with DK Metcalf, Pittsburgh is exploring receiver depth, while other clubs have shown interest in Boston, including a reported meeting with the Dolphins and planned workouts with the Bills and Saints.
