The Carolina Panthers have met with another one of the 2026 draft’s top receiver prospects.
According to ESPN’s Field Yates, University of Washington wideout Denzel Boston visited with the Panthers on Thursday. The 6-foot-4, 212-pounder is widely projected as an early-round pick.
Boston, a Boise, Idaho native, played all four of his collegiate seasons for the Huskies—amassing 132 receptions for 1,781 yards and 20 touchdowns over 43 games. His work from the 2025 campaign—where he reeled in 62 catches for 881 yards and 11 scores—earned him a third-team All-Big Ten selection.
In addition to Boston, the Panthers reportedly have or will have visits with a handful of other noteworthy wide receivers—including Texas A&M’s Kevin “KC” Concepcion, Indiana’s Omar Cooper Jr. and Oklahoma’s Deion Burks.
Carolina, who seems to be in the market for a first-round playmaker, currently holds the 19th overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft.
