•Yahoo Sports

The Pittsburgh Steelers are reportedly set to host Washington wide receiver Denzel Boston for a pre-draft, top-30 visit.

Almost one month away from the 2026 NFL Draft , there are few positions as important to address as wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers , and one talented prospect is reportedly scheduled to meet with the team for a top-30 visit . According to The Athletic's Mike DeFabo, Washington wide receiver Denzel Boston is "scheduled to meet" with the Steelers for a pre-draft, top-30 visit, per a league source. Denzel Boston is scheduled to meet with the Pittsburgh Steelers for one of his many pre-draft visits, a league source told @TheAthletic .

The 6-4, 210 receiver out of Washington knows how to use his big frame to his advantage and has outstanding hands. https://t. co/1jIMmE4F9E — Mike DeFabo (@MikeDeFabo) March 18, 2026 Since 2024, Boston has caught 132 passes for 1,781 yards and 20 touchdowns.

A huge six-foot-four-inch wideout with great contested catch ability, Boston has been projected as a mid-to-late first-round prospect. Adding Boston to a receiver corps already featuring DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman would arguably give the Steelers offense a size advantage versus almost any secondary they'd face off against. But Pittsburgh hasn't shown a willingness to draft first-round wideouts in years past, having done so just twice since 2000.
