4 unusual facts about David Boston


David Boston

Despite his sterling on-field performance, Chargers GM A.J. Smith traded Boston to the Miami Dolphins for a sixth round draft choice, citing his moody personality and lackadaisical practice habits.

Boston's best-remembered moment remains his game-winning five-yard touchdown reception from quarterback Joe Germaine with 19 seconds remaining in the 1997 Rose Bowl.

That season he caught 70 passes for 880 yards and seven touchdowns, though coach Marty Schottenheimer suspended him for a game after he cursed out strength coach Dave Redding.

Givens graduated from Humble High School in Humble, Texas in 1998, the same high school as fellow NFL players David Boston, Bertrand Berry, and Sammy Davis.
