Denzel Mims was a draft bust with the New York Jets, but the Detroit Lions believe his “traits” are worth taking a chance on.
“He’s a guy that has tools,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said before the first practice of training camp Sunday. “He’s a big receiver and he has speed. He has length and kind of relative of looking at what do you want to work with, this guy has the ability and let’s see if we can do something.”
A second-round pick in 2020, Mims caught 42 passes for 676 yards in three seasons with the Jets.
