The New York Jets badly need help at wide receiver.
Luckily, they will have two opportunities to grab one in the first round of the 2026 NFL draft.
And at each spot, they will have intriguing options at their disposal.
We already broke down the film of Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate, a man so gifted that he justifies serious consideration at No. 2 overall.
USC’s Makai Lemon is widely considered the favorite to be taken 16th overall by the Jets, and his film suggests the Jets would be very lucky to nab him in that slot.
Two other wideouts, though, are also in the mix for New York’s 16th overall selection: Arizona State’s Jordyn Tyson and Washington’s Denzel Boston.
We’re diving deep into the latter today.
Boston, who boasts a classic X receiver frame at 6-foot-4 and 209 pounds, was a touchdown machine for the Huskies over the last two seasons, snagging 20 touchdowns in 25 games. This past season, he developed into one of college football’s best contested-catch receivers, securing 77% of his contested targets, per Pro Football Focus.
In terms of an analytical breakdown from our Michael Nania, Boston boasts an excellent profile that suggests he has a high chance of panning out in the NFL. In fact, the analytics even say that he has a better outlook than Tyson, who is widely viewed as the higher-ranked prospect.
What does the film say, though?
That’s what we’re here to find out today.
On the latest episode of Blewett’s Blitz, we break down the All-22 film of Boston’s 2025 performances against Ohio State, Maryland, Michigan, Illinois, and Oregon.
Below is the full Denzel Boston scouting report (strengths and weaknesses) and film review.
