  Draft Scout by Conference









  Marvin Mims enrolled at Oklahoma in time for its spring semester a year ago, angling to take advantage of OU's offseason programs. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic denied the 5-foot-11 receiver from Frisco, Texas, his opportunity to go through spring football practices, but his production as a true freshman never suggested he wasn't ready to provide to the Sooner offense. Mims' athleticism helped him thrive in his first year, but his ability to bring down tough catches made him one of OU quarterback Spencer Rattler's most reliable targets. "He made the ones he was supposed to make, then he made several that were competitive balls," OU coach Lincoln Riley said. "That's a lot of times what separates elite players. He was able to pick it up mentally and kept producing. We honestly probably should have played him a little bit more than we did."

Perhaps Mims could have built more trust had he went through a proper spring camp. Still, Mims didn't let the pandemic, which kept OU away from on-campus workouts from mid-March to early July, affect his preparation. "I was at a disadvantage, but so were the other guys coming in during the summer, because they missed so much time, too," Mims said. "Basically, I was just staying on myself, making myself get up every day, do the extra stuff I needed to do and from the playbook, it was all just memorization, just mental." - Norman Transcript
