Denzel Boston's NFL Combine came with some mixed reviews, as the receiver saved most of his drills for the Washington Pro Day. However, there was one area where he shined and that was at the podium. He came across as polished, smart, and with a lot of things to say that will only help a team trust that they are getting a receiver with a good head on his shoulders.

The quote that Washington fans will love the most is about the culture at Montlake. What Jedd Fisch has done to prepare players for this moment and these NFL interviews. He described going into meetings knowing exactly what the coaches were asking and the plays they were installing him in. This should be on the recruiting poster for the Washington Huskies.

Boston was describing his time meeting with NFL teams, and he said, "I'm going into my meetings, and they're installing me in plays that I've already run, and you know that's the best feeling. Just knowing that you're going into a workspace that you're already prepared for."

Of course, the Washington football social media team took advantage of this quote and plastered it all over their socials. But this is an important note for not only Boston and other Washington players currently at the NFL Combine, but also any future players who have aspirations to be there too. This is so many players' goals, and now Washington has a star player giving them a star recruiting quote.

Boston was already going to be a good help in recruiting because of his trajectory from when he arrived on campus as a 3-star recruit to becoming a star by his junior season. That alone would help the Washington recruiting department. The Huskies also know how to develop. To get players ready to play in college and now in the NFL.
