Marvin Mims

2023 · Round 2 · Pick 63 · WR · Denver Broncos

Marvin Mims Jr. grew up in Frisco, Texas, and attended Lone Star High School. As a senior he set a national record with 2,629 receiving yards and 32 touchdown catches, finished with a state-record 5,485 career receiving yards, and was named Mr. Texas Football. He decommitted from Stanford to sign with Oklahoma. As a freshman in 2020 he set an OU freshman record with nine touchdown catches and was second-team All-Big 12. In 2022 he caught 54 passes for 1,083 yards (20.1 yards per catch) and was first-team All-Big 12. Denver drafted him in the second round, 63rd overall, in 2023. He became one of the NFL's best returners: two Pro Bowls (2023, 2024), second-team All-Pro as a kick returner in 2023, and first-team All-Pro as a punt returner in 2024. He led the league in punt-return yards in 2025, and Wikipedia credits him with the NFL record for career yards per punt return (15.7). He is active with the Broncos. The Oklahoma Daily wrote on August 25, 2021: "Mims Sr., whose son holds the national high school record for single-season receiving yards with 2,626 his senior year."
