Denzel Mims is from Daingerfield, Texas, population 2,560 at the time of the 2010 census, so it’s understandable that his trip to a major metropolitan city would cause him some discomfort.
During a visit to Philadelphia before the predraft process was halted, Mims came away unimpressed with the city as a whole, telling Adam Caplan that ” he was afraid of the people.”
Mims in the NFL now with the New York Jets, and it appears his disdain for big city life only applies to Philadelphia.
While chatting with the Philly Guys Only, Mims called Philadelphia a “dirty a**, trash a** city.”

Safe to say Mims won’t be making that less than two-hour journey to South Street anytime sooner.
