The 2020 NFL Draft, being held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic, continued Friday with the second and third rounds. Wide receiver Denzel Mims became the first Baylor player to be selected when the New York Jets took him in the second round with the 59th overall pick.
Mims was projected to be a late first or early second round pick, but ended up slipping to near the end of the second round. He is still the highest-drafted Bear since wide receiver Corey Coleman was taken in the first round as the 15th overall selection in 2016.
