Denzel Boston Skips Most Combine Testing
Washington wide receiver Denzel Boston chose not to participate in most testing at the NFL Scouting Combine. Boston opted out of major drills, such as the 40-yard dash, and was only evaluated in the 20-yard shuttle and vertical jump. He finished the shuttle drill in 4.28 seconds, ranking third out of seven wide receivers. Meanwhile, his 35" vertical jump ranked 21st among 30 receivers. Draft critics seem to have mixed opinions on whether Boston should have completed more drills. On one hand, he posted a great stat line of 881 yards and 11 touchdowns in college last season, which could speak for itself -- or at least provide a lot more context than an individual Scouting Combine drill. On the other hand, for a healthy player without top-tier status, participating in more tests could have boosted his status among teams that weren't previously sold on him. For what it's worth, Boston still ranks as the #2 wide receiver and #5 prospect in RotoBaller's latest superflex rookie rankings for 2026.
