Marvin Mims Fantasy profile: Dynasty ranking, five-tool grades, recent comparables and more
From an efficiency standpoint, Marvin Mims is one of the most exciting wide receiver prospects to come out of the NFL Draft in recent memory. As a true freshman at Oklahoma in 2020, Mims led the team in receiving while only running a route on 35% of the team's offensive dropbacks. When on the field in 2020, Mims accounted for 40% of Oklahoma's targets, 42% of the receiving yardage, and nine of 14 receiving touchdowns. His outstanding deep ball efficiency at Oklahoma was backed up by a blazing 4.38 time in the 40-yard dash, and that combination was enough to convince the Denver Broncos to trade up to make Mims the final selection of the second round.
