Browns' Denzel Boston discusses progress from offseason, minicamp

The Cleveland Browns’ 2026 rookie minicamp is officially in the books, and fans were able to see a first glimpse of some of the team’s top rookies from general manager Andrew Berry’s incredible 2026 NFL Draft class.

While most of the attention was on the team’s first-round picks in Utah offensive tackle Spencer Fano and Texas A&M’s wide receiver KC Concepcion, fellow rookie wideout Denzel Boston made his first media appearance on Saturday afternoon and discussed his entire offseason with the organization.

When asked about how he improved throughout the offseason, Boston told reporters on Saturday that he put a “lot of emphasis” on his quickness coming out of his routes.

“I think I put a lot of emphasis on [quickly coming out of his routes] during the time of training, like even coming into the Combine and just definitely learning how to sink my hips better to be more explosive out of my routes,” Boston said.

Boston, who spent his entire college career with the Washington Huskies, was able to become one of the top-ranked receivers in the 2026 NFL Draft thanks to his incredible showing in his last two seasons with the program. During those final two seasons, the 22-year-old recorded 1,715 receiving yards and 20 touchdowns on 125 receptions, proving himself to be an excellent red-zone threat for the Huskies.

After not hearing his name called on the first night of the most recent draft, the Browns ultimately decided to use the No. 39 pick on Boston. The addition of the former Big 10 Conference standout now gives Cleveland a young, dynamic wide receiver corps heading into the 2026 NFL season, as Boston is set to join Concepcion for next season.

In addition to his work this offseason, Boston also gave a recap of his rookie minicamp on Saturday, telling reporters that he performed “decently well” but has more to improve on heading into this season.
