Every NFL team thinks they can fix a 'bust.' Detroit Lions will try with Denzel Mims.

Does Detroit Lions receiver Denzel Mims have a chip on his shoulder?

“(Expletive) yeah,” he said Monday after he finished practice with his new team in Allen Park. “(Expletive) yeah.”

That’s a start, eh?

A little something for Dan Campbell and Ben Johnson and Jared Goff to work with?

Then again, most professional athletes who don’t meet their potential with the team that drafted them — especially high in the draft — say similar things upon arrival to their next team, particularly when the destination is seen as a second chance, which the Lions most certainly are for Mims.
