ESPN's NFL Draft Gaffe: Denzel Boston & David Boston

0:00On April 25th, the 2026 NFL draft has been wild through two days, but the biggest laugh came from an ESPN slip-up during the Cleveland, Brown's pick. They grabbed Y receiver Denzel Boston from Washington at number 39 overall in the second round, and announcer Mike Greenberg called him, the son of Ohio State legend David Boston. Turns out, zero relation between the two. Ohio State Buckeyes owned the board early, with eight players gone in the first two days. Day one saw Carnell Tate, Arville Reese, Sunny Stiles, and Caleb Downes snatched in the first 11 picks. Then day two brought Cady McDonald, Max Claire, Davidson, Igbeno son, and Will Cachmeric into the league. Fans lit up social media quick, pointing out the mix-up since Denzel hails from Washington State and David from Texas. Greenberg owned it fast, with an on-air apology, keeping things light amid the draft buzz. David Boston balled out at Ohio State from 1996 to 1998, exploding his junior year with

1:04over 1,300 yards, and 15 touchdowns to snag the eighth overall pick by the Arizona Cardinals in 1999. He flashed as an all pro in 2001, with nearly 1,600 yards before injuries sidelined him after seven pro seasons. Buckeyes should hear their names today on day three, wrapping a strong draft for Columbus while that ESPN Flub stays the talk of the town.
