Even after adding Michael Pittman Jr. , the Pittsburgh Steelers are doing their research on the top pass-catchers in next month's 2026 NFL Draft.
Mike McCarthy's team is reportedly set to host Washington receiver Denzel Boston for a pre-draft visit. Boston will be the third wideout in this draft cycle that the Steelers meet with at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex. They brought in Cincinnati 's Jeff Caldwell and Kentucky's Kendrick Law on Monday.
Boston, a Washington native, stands 6-foot-4 and weighs 210 pounds. He said at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis that he hoped to meet with the Steelers again.

"I would love (for) the Steelers to come pick me up," Boston said . "I'd love for any team to come pick me up. Playing with DK (Metcalf) would be great. Funny story, I actually predicted to my dad that the Seahawks were gonna draft DK back in his class. … I am a fan of his, for sure. Big, dominant receiver."
Boston feels that he has similar characteristics to Metcalf. He said he enjoys watching Mike Evans , Tee Higgins and Nico Collins , as well.
"The physical and dominant traits I have will translate directly into the league as I get there," Boston said. "And also having a great contested catch rate and a low drop rate. We're receivers. That's what we do."
Boston led the Huskies with 62 receptions, 881 receiving yards and 11 touchdown catches last season.
