One NFL insider is impressed with what he’s seen from a Cleveland Browns rookie receiver so far at training camp.
The Cleveland Browns are just days away from kicking off their preseason slate as they prepare for the upcoming 2026 NFL season. The Browns are widely expected to be among the worst teams in the NFL this year, but that isn’t stopping optimism from brewing as the team continues with training camp.
This year, the Browns used their second-round draft pick to select wide receiver Denzel Boston out of Washington, and according to the latest reports from Ben Solak of ESPN at training camp, there is plenty to be excited about.
“He has clear pro size at 6-foot-4 with a well-built frame, and he knows how to use it. He pushes off with strength, and he attacks throws away from his frame with length and hand size. But it’s the smoothness with which he’s in and out of his routes that truly stands out,” reported Solak.
“The last time I left a camp feeling this way about a rookie pass catcher was in 2023 after Lions camp. I watched a second-round tight end named Sam LaPorta snag every Jared Goff pass — inaccurate, into contact, down the field — with reliable hands and pro-level consistency,” he added.
Unfortunately, the Browns don’t exactly have reliable quarterback play to count on at the moment, as the team still hasn’t picked its starter between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders. Sanders started down the stretch of last year with mixed results, while the team has heavy incentive to start Watson given the huge amount of cash they have committed to him.
Still, whoever ends up getting the job will have an impressive rookie receiver in Boston to throw to.
The Browns’ season is slated to get underway on September 13.
