Marvin Mims Jr. looks to build on his performance in a December game against the Bengals that showcased his catching ability and scoring potential. In that game, he had eight receptions for 103 yards and two touchdowns, making a significant impact in the fourth quarter. This performance was pivotal for Mims, a second-round pick in 2023, as he aims to carve out a more prominent role in the Broncos' offensive scheme in 2025. Coach Sean Payton emphasized the importance of confidence stemming from demonstrated ability as Mims continues to work with key teammates.
In what eventually became a 30-24 overtime loss to the Bengals, Mims finished with eight receptions on eight targets for 103 yards and two touchdowns. Both touchdowns were in the fourth quarter -- the first a 51-yard catch-and-run for the team's longest play of the game and the other a leaping are-you-kidding-me effort with eight seconds left in regulation to force overtime.
The eight receptions were a career-high for Mims, a second-round pick in the 2023 draft. The two touchdowns tied a single-game best, and the 103 yards tied his second-highest total.
Mims has carried over his fast finish from 2024 to the offseason, where spent most of his time working with the starting receivers alongside Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin.
Confidence is born out of demonstrated ability, Broncos coach Sean Payton said of Mims.
