Tyquan Thornton and the Baylor Offense

In a league with a lot of good WR play, Mims was a step above. Most teams can flood the field with really good athletes at wide receiver, but the difference comes when you can put a guy out there who demands attention from multiple defenders on every play. That’s what Mims was for Baylor.
