Denzel Mims was the 13th receiver selected in the 2020 NFL draft, but his college coach at Baylor believes the New York Jets got a steal with the No. 59 overall pick.

"He's a guy that Jets fans are going to love," Matt Rhule said, per Al Iannazzone of Newsday. "He's blue-collar, tough guy, but yet he still runs 4.38 (40-yard dash). He's going to be a deep-ball threat. He's got great hands, really, really smart, really tough and competitive."

Rhule is the new coach of the Carolina Panthers, who used their first two picks on defensive linemen Derrick Brown and Yetur Gross-Matos.
