GAME FILM
#5 Denzel Mims VS Baylor (2019)

#5 Denzel Mims 2019 highligths

Strengths: He is a tall and rangy receiver with longs arms, strong hands, and a wingspan of nearly seven feet long. He is a vertical threat who can take the top off the defense in a hurry. He has a long smooth stride and flashes good irritable short-area quickness as a route runner. He has a significant physical frame that allows him to shield the defender from the ball. He has a wide catching radius, can high-point the ball, and tracks the ball well. Will make the tough catches in traffic and focuses on the ball. He is a dangerous with double move routes. He is an aggressive runner after the catch, and so physical takes more than one defender to put him down.

Weaknesses: Despite his high speed, he is not very explosive off the break. His physiciality does not transcend well to press coverage and will need to use it to his advantage at the next level. He allows the defender to re-direct his pass routes, which is not practical. Hips are not fluid to allow him to run comeback routes but will display good movement for out routes. Relies on his creativity opposes taking advantage of his physical traits.

Draft Grade: 6.33

Draft Projection: Late first - 3rd round

NFL Comparison: Josh Gordon
