Denzel Mims had 5 penalties last year (for a WR!) in a limited role, a few awful drops that bounced off his chest, and showed that his route running was extremely limited when given the opportunity (which wasn’t a shock because the knock on him was that he ran in a vertical Baylor offense that didn’t emphasize a diverse route tree).
There’s only two ways to go here: up or out. He either seizes this chance to get much better or he’s gone. I can’t imagine keeping him beyond this year if things don’t pick up significantly for him this year. I know some of you don’t want to give up on the kid, but we can’t keep waiting for the magic to happen. It’s year 3. Let’s go!
