Mims can tilt a defense in a single touch, whether he is lining up at receiver or threatening the return game. Denver's next task is finding enough designed chances to let that explosiveness show up weekly.
Strengths: Speed, big-play production, return value, suddenness and playoff poise.
Weaknesses: Target volume can fluctuate in a deep receiver room, so he must stay efficient on fewer chances.

Mims can change a game even if he only gets a handful of offensive touches, which is why the All-Pro return résumé matters. The 2025 receiving output was quiet, but his speed and gadget value are still scary. A six fits a player with high-impact traits who has not yet settled into a stable weekly receiving role. Denver should keep finding ways to manufacture him space.
Strengths: He has exceptional open-field speed, proven return ability and flexibility as a receiver or runner. Mims can flip field position and create explosive plays without needing a traditional high-volume target role.
Weaknesses: His 2025 receiving efficiency and scoring dipped sharply from 2024. He needs a more complete route tree and more consistent physical play against coverage to become more than a specialist and designed-touch threat.
