This past season, he developed into one of college football\u2019s best contested-catch receivers, securing 77% of his contested targets, per Pro Football Focus.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of an analytical breakdown from our Michael Nania, Boston <a href=\"https:\/\/jetsxfactor.com\/2026\/01\/22\/2026-nfl-draft-meet-wr-prospect-best-odds-hit\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">boasts an excellent profile<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n<p>What does the film say, though?<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what we\u2019re here to find out today.<\/p>\n<p>On the latest episode of Blewett\u2019s Blitz, we break down the All-22 film of Boston\u2019s 2025 performances against Ohio State, Maryland, Michigan, Illinois, and Oregon.<\/p>\n<p>Below is the full Denzel Boston scouting report (strengths and weaknesses) and film review.<\/p>\n<p>Sorry, this section of the page\/article contains premium content and requires a Jet X Membership.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jetsxfactor.com\/jet-x-membership\/membership-levels\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-65261 size-full\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"Jet X Membership Button\" width=\"965\" height=\"209\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/jet-x-membership-button.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jetsxfactor.com\/jet-x-membership\/membership-levels\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Get Started<\/a> by checking out the Jet X Membership options, which include a 30-Day Free Trial, a Monthly Option, and a Yearly Option.<\/p>\n<p>Jet X Members receive unlocked access to all premium content on the site, a completely ad-free experience, and the ability to use Jet X Simulators.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The New York Jets badly need help at wide receiver.
