2026 Outlook

Browns 2026 second WR taken in draft (Day 2). Likely to take over the "X" outside role while KC Concepcion operates as the slot weapon in Todd Monken's motion-heavy offense. At OTAs, both Concepcion and Boston are "scheduled to make a huge impact" according to coach observations. Boston coexists with Jerry Jeudy and Harold Fannin Jr. in the receiving room, making target distribution a key question. QB stability (Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders, Dillon Gabriel, Taylen Green) will ceiling the receiver corps until the position stabilizes. (per Cleveland Browns Could Rely on Rookies at Two Critical Offensive Positions)

Role / Depth Chart

Projected starting outside WR ("X") in Todd Monken's motion-heavy offense, competing with Jerry Jeudy for targets. Depth chart shows him in the starting four-WR rotation alongside KC Concepcion (slot), Jeudy, and Cedric Tillman.

Injury Status

Healthy.
