Marvin Mims Jr. was drafted by the Denver Broncos in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, selected with the 63rd overall pick.
The trade in which the Broncos acquired Mims was part of their strategy to bolster their wide receiver corps and add a dynamic threat to their offense.
Mims, who played his college football at the University of Oklahoma, is known for his exceptional speed, making him a deep-threat receiver. He ran an impressive 4.38-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine, showcasing his ability to stretch the field.
During his time at Oklahoma, Mims put up strong statistics, recording 54 receptions for 1,083 yards and six touchdowns in his final season. His performance earned him first-team All-Big 12 honors and solidified his reputation as one of the top wide receiver prospects heading into the NFL.
The Broncos traded up to the 63rd overall pick to select Mims, making it clear they valued his skill set highly. His ability to provide both a deep-ball threat and a potential contributor on special teams as a punt and kick returner made him an appealing choice.
In college, Mims averaged 16 yards per punt return, showing his versatility and his potential to contribute in multiple facets of the game. While the Minnesota Vikings could certainly benefit from a player of Mims’ caliber, no formal trade involving him to the Vikings has been reported as of yet.
The Vikings already have a strong receiving corps, led by star wideout Justin Jefferson, and adding another explosive player like Mims could potentially enhance their offense further. However, as of the latest updates, Mims remains with the Denver Broncos, continuing to develop his skills at the professional level.
Any future trades involving Mims would depend on team needs and strategies, but for now, his career with the Broncos is just getting started.
