Greenberg referenced David Boston while speaking with draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr., saying they were hearing the name “David Boston” in connection with the new Browns receiver. It prompted a correction later in the broadcast, clarifying that Denzel Boston is not related to David Boston.
Greenberg stated that the error was a result of incorrect research and offered apologies to both David and Denzel Boston. He emphasized that the two are not related and expressed regret for the mix-up, acknowledging it publicly during the show.
Denzel Boston, a 6-foot-4, 212-pound recipient from Washington, was viewed by some scouts as a potential first-round talent heading into draft weekend. He ultimately landed with the Browns in the second round, adding to Cleveland’s efforts to bolster its receiving corps.
The Browns view Boston as a versatile addition who can complement fellow draft pick KC Concepcion, selected earlier in the first round, as the team seeks to improve production in the passing game. Boston spoke about using his size and contested-catch ability to create mismatches, particularly in the red zone.
Boston’s college résumé includes 132 receptions, 1,781 yards, and 20 touchdowns across 43 games for Washington, with several of those scores coming in the red zone. Cleveland hopes the two receivers they added will provide a balanced, impactful presence for the offense next season.
In confirming the misidentification, the broadcast underscored the importance of accuracy in draft coverage and the impact of on-air corrections. The Browns’ added depth at wide receiver is part of a broader effort to enhance offensive production after finishing last in receiving yards and touchdowns in the prior season.
