Denzel Mims had himself a largely promising rookie campaign over nine appearances, consistently flashing intriguing potential even if his overall production was somewhat lackluster. Mims secured 23 of 44 targets for 357 yards, 15 first downs, and zero touchdowns, all while averaging a fairly quiet 39.7 yards per game but a respectable 8.1 yards per target.
Those aren’t world-beating numbers, but it was the quality of Mims’ catches that captured the hearts of fans.
The New York Jets‘ young weapon made a number of eye-popping contested catches. More impressively, he did so while showcasing impressive speed after the catch.
