If you ask Lone Star High School football coach Jeff Rayburn, he would tell you wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. was destined for greatness.
Rayburn noticed Mims’ potential when he was only a sophomore at the Frisco, Texas, school. Mims had blazing speed, attacked the football in the air, and was able to contort his body to make contested catches—traits that are uncoachable. Or, as Rayburn puts it, “a God-given ability.”
That’s why Rayburn wasn’t surprised when he watched Mims star at Oklahoma — then get drafted by the Broncos in the second round on Friday night.
