  Draft Scout by Conference









  As Oklahoma begins practice for the coming football season, several assumptions are being taken for granted. Quarterback Spencer Rattler will be a Heisman Trophy candidate. Kennedy Brooks will lead the running back committee. The Sooners are the clear class of the Big 12 Conference, in line to win a seventh straight league crown. Marvin Mims is the No. 1 option at wide receiver. While that last one it may well be true, the fact it's presumed is interesting because Mims caught all of 37 passes last season, the same number as Theo Wease, and 25 fewer than 2019's leading receiver, CeeDee Lamb, who caught 62.

It was a big season for a true freshman, which Mims happened to be. It was not, however, a huge season for the Sooners' leading receiver. That last time OU's most frequent pass catcher topped out at fewer grabs was 2005, when Malcolm Kelly caught 33 passes thrown by Rhett Bomar or Paul Thompson in a forgettable four-loss season. The last time even OU's No. 2 receiver was limited to so few grabs was in 2016, when Dede Westbrook caught 80, Joe Mixon, a running back, caught 37 and Geno Lewis caught 32. Mims will be looking to catch many more this campaign, for the difference between being a freshman and sophomore are immense. "It's a whole other mindset," he said. "I've done it for a year now, I'm coming in, I'm ready to build." - Norman Transcript
