WR Denzel Mims, Baylor
I feel like Mims was forgotten about by quite a lot of people already. With big names like Henry Ruggs III, Jerry Jeudy and CeeDee Lamb all drawing the biggest praise ahead of the 2020 NFL Combine, Mims had to impress to even be remembered. And he did exactly that.
Mims had the third-fastest time in the 40-yard dash among wide receivers at 4.38 seconds, was tied for the eighth-best vertical jump and tied for the fourth-best broad jump. But it was Mims’ combine-leading 6.66-second three-cone drill that really proved how explosive and dynamic he could be with the ball in his hands.
I think Mims projects into a specific type of role early on but he has plenty of upside. Where he winds up being taken likely depends on and where he winds up being taken will depend on whether teams need that specific role in 2020. The Ravens already have a dynamic wide receiver like that in Marquise Brown but if the Kansas City Chiefs proved anything last season, it’s that you can never have too many fast and explosive playmakers on offense.
