New York Jets ink rookie WR Denzel Mims to 4-year contract (Report)

Second-round wide receiver Denzel Mims has locked up his rookie deal with the New York Jets, according to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News.

The speedy receiver out of Baylor was snagged by the Jets with the 59th overall pick after several other wideout prospects were selected. Still, the pick received high praise, as Mims was projected to be drafted within the late-first, early-second ballpark. The Jets even traded down in the second round to acquire extra picks but were still able to land Mims.

He was a stud for the Baylor Bears during his senior year.
