Is Pittsburgh Steelers WR Denzel Mims a roster sleeper?
Somewhat quietly, the Steelers added former second-round draft pick Denzel Mims to their practice squad on October 3. A three-year veteran, he failed to live up to his potential in three years with the New York Jets. The Detroit Lions acquired him in July for conditional draft picks in the even he makes the roster, but they waived him with an injury designation in late August.
He sat unsigned, perhaps not healthy enough to sign anywhere, until the Steelers picked him up. He remained there for the remainder of the season, never elevated, and re-signed on a Reserve/Future contract.
