On Friday, Denzel Boston was chosen as the 39th overall pick by the Cleveland Browns in the 2026 draft. However, his selection was overshadowed by an unexpected moment.
During the announcement, ESPN’s Mike Greenberg erroneously referred to the wide receiver from Washington as the son of David Boston, a former Arizona Cardinals All-Pro and Pro Bowler. In reality, Denzel and David Boston are not related.
Thanks for the submission!

In reality, Denzel Boston’s father is named Chris, who was present at the draft sitting beside his son. He applauded when Denzel’s name was called. Meanwhile, David Boston is the father of three children: Jaylen, Brayden, and Alaia. Brayden is noted for his basketball talents and is considered a promising player in the 2033 class.
