The Pittsburgh Steelers' offense could be getting a major red-zone upgrade in the upcoming NFL Draft. Despite the offseason acquisition of veteran wideout Michael Pittman Jr., speculation is building that the team might use its first-round pick to add another dynamic weapon for quarterback Justin Fields.

According to a new mock draft from Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Steelers are projected to select Washington Huskies wide receiver Denzel Boston with the 21st overall pick. The rationale is clear: Pittsburgh needs more scoring punch, and Boston brings exactly that.

Standing at an imposing 6-foot-4, Boston would immediately become a towering presence in the Steelers' receiving corps, joining fellow 6-foot-4 targets DK Metcalf and Pittman. His college production is hard to ignore; over his final two seasons at Washington, he hauled in 20 touchdown passes, including 11 last year—a performance that earned him third-team All-Big Ten honors.

Boston's 1,781 career receiving yards and 20 touchdowns across 43 games demonstrate a consistent ability to find the end zone. His versatility, with experience playing both outside and in the slot, would give offensive coordinator Arthur Smith a flexible and dangerous weapon to deploy. For a Steelers team looking to dominate in the red zone and add a new dimension to its aerial attack, drafting a playmaker like Denzel Boston could be a game-changing move.
