As we’ve done in previous years, we’re taking a look at those Pittsburgh Steelers under futures contracts for the 2024 offseason. The ones who spent most if not the entire year on the practice squad and what we can expect from them during training camp and (hopefully) into the regular season. Today, an outlook on WR Denzel Mims.
DENZEL MIMS/WR BAYLOR – 6027, 207 pounds
I’ll be the first to admit my wrongness about Denzel Mims. Coming out of the draft, I was among his biggest fans. Big. Springy. Athletic down the field. The lesson learned from guys like him and those with a similar makeup, Laquon Treadwell, N’Keal Harry, and others, is being big and possessing straight-line speed isn’t enough to win in the NFL.
