Texans host Washington WR Denzel Boston for pre-draft visit

Could the Houston Texans shock the NFL world and go for a wide receiver in Round 1? According to reports , the Texans hosted Washington wide receiver Denzel Boston this week as one of his final 30 visits. The Texans don't seem to be in the market for a wide receiver after using two early draft picks on the Iowa State standouts last April, but given the recent comments made by general manager Nick Caserio on Tank Dell's status, it wouldn't be the worst idea to bring in at least one pass-catcher.

A staple under Jedd Fisch's squad the past two seasons, Boston has been one of the more consistent weapons in the Big Ten. A former third-team All-Big Ten selection, Boston finished with Huskies' career with 132 receptions for 1,781 yards and 20 touchdowns and one rushing score. He caught 62 passes for 881 yards and 11 touchdowns last season.

He's expected to be one of the better red zone targets in the league as part of the draft class.
