Denzel Boston, a wide receiver from Washington, was selected 39th overall by the Cleveland Browns in the 2026 NFL Draft. However, the moment was overshadowed by a significant error made by ESPN's Mike Greenberg, who mistakenly identified Denzel as the son of former NFL player David Boston. This gaffe sparked outrage among fans, who took to social media to express their disappointment in Greenberg and criticize ESPN's declining standards in sports broadcasting. Denzel's actual father, Chris Boston, was present at the draft and celebrated the moment. Meanwhile, David Boston, who has no relation to Denzel, has three children, including a highly regarded basketball player in the upcoming 2033 class. The incident has raised questions about the quality of ESPN's coverage and the competence of its commentators.
