The Washington Commanders continue their search for a complement to wide receiver Terry McLaurin. Washington was in Columbus, Ohio, on Wednesday for Ohio State’s pro day. The Commanders met with all of the top Buckeye prospects, including wide receiver Carnell Tate. Tate is a contender to go No. 7 overall to the Commanders in next month’s 2026 NFL Draft.
Tate also confirmed that he has a top-30 visit scheduled with Washington.

On Thursday, Ben Standig revealed that the Commanders will host Washington Huskies wide receiver Denzel Boston on a pre-draft visit. The 6-foot-4, 212-pound Boston is considered a first-round prospect, but not at No. 7 overall. So, if the Commanders can find a trade partner, Boston is a prospect to watch.
There’s a lot to like about the 6-foot-3, 210-pound Boston. Over his last two seasons at Washington, Boston caught 125 passes for 1,715 yards and 20 touchdowns. He can beat you in a number of ways. Boston has terrific size and hands. He posted a low drop rate in college. He’s excellent as a deep threat because of his ability to win in contested catch situations. The biggest knock on Boston will be his speed. However, those concerns don’t look to be a problem after the catch.
One thing to like about Boston is that he plays like a 6-foot-4 receiver, which isn’t always the case. He’s also not afraid to get physical in the run game, which will endear him to head coach Dan Quinn and offensive coordinator David Blough.
