Denzel Mims Not A Great Fit For New Offense
4 years agoNew York Jets wide receiver Denzel Mims will have to earn a starting role in training camp. The second-round pick in 2020 dealt with injuries in his rookie campaign and played in just nine games. Mims' overall stat line wasn't anything special, but he did flash an eye-popping 15.5 yards per catch. He missed some time with an illness during spring practice and was relegated to the second team when he was on the field. Corey Davis and Keelan Cole/Elijah Moore are the team's top receivers on the outside, while veteran Jamison Crowder is expected to start in the slot. Mims (6-foot-3, 215 pounds) is at his best as a deep threat that excels at contested catches down the field, but deep shots aren't a staple of this offense. The Jets would like to see Mims improve on inside routes which require more precise route-running and intermediate routes. He'll have a chance to prove himself in training camp, but Mims is nothing more than a deep league bench stash in Year 2.
