CLEVELAND — After a standout performance in the Week 2 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Browns rookie wide receiver Denzel Boston has gotten some special recognition from the league and is now up for the NFL Rookie of the Week Award.
Boston was nominated for the weekly award, given to first-year players who excel in a game.
On Sunday against the Buccaneers, Boston recorded five catches for 95 yards and a touchdown. Boston has started his young NFL career finding the end zone in each of the first two starts, a feat only accomplished by two other Browns rookies in franchise history.
