Georgia OL Amarius Mims 2024 NFL Draft Profile

Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia

Height/Weight: 6-8, 340

Age: 21.5

Strengths

• Athleticism: Elite movement skills for someone that possesses his frame. Nothing is stressed in his lower half when asked to kick slide or down block
• Balance: Would expect someone that’s 6-8 to get too far in front of himself but he routinely plays with appropriate leverage
• Footwork: Immaculate precision for his frame. Tight technique that only builds off his athleticism

Areas of Improvement-Concerns

• Durability: Sustained multiple injuries over the course of his career including two separate one’s in 2023 and then again at the NFL Combine
• Experience: Only eight starts during his tenure at Georgia
• Rawness: Between injuries and a lack of starts, Mims will have a ways to go fundamentally before he’s a plug a play starter

Evaluation:

As a league source told me regarding Mims, “he looks and plays like someone built in a lab.” Undoubtedly the tackle with the highest ceiling in the class, Mims is a player that no offensive line coach wouldn’t bang on the table for. But an injury plagued final year and lack of experience may have teams looking for a day one starter hesitant to pick up the phone in the first round, while others throw caution to the wind and potentially even trade up for him.
