Broncos rookie Marvin Mims Jr.’s “good football intelligence” paying off in return game

Marvin Mims Jr. may not be seeing the ball much on offense, but the rookie has still turned himself into a one-man drive-starter.

The wide receiver out of Oklahoma is setting the Broncos offense up nicely almost every time he gets a chance in the return game.

This week, that work earned him the AFC’s special teams player of the week honor.

Mims, a second-round pick last spring, has already blossomed into one of the NFL’s most dangerous return men on both punts and kickoffs and his impact was on full display in Denver’s 24-22 win Monday night at Buffalo.
