Jets' Denzel Mims blasts 'dirty' city of Philadelphia

By Erin Walsh | Last updated 7/6/20

New York Jets rookie Denzel Mims does not like the city of Philadelphia...at all.

On a video game stream over the weekend, Mims discussed his pre-draft visit with the Eagles and described Philadelphia as a "dirty ass, trash ass city."

Mims, who went to Baylor and grew up in Texas, spoke more in-depth about his visit with the Eagles during an interview with Adam Caplan and Geoff Mosher of the "Inside the Birds" podcast a few months ago.

"I was very scared. I wasn't familiar with the whole city and it was a lot going on," Mims said. "You see a lot of people that look scary...I had a bad experience, you could say, going up there that first time."

The Jets are supposed to play the Eagles during Week 4 of the preseason, but that may not be a possibility anymore as the league is reportedly planning to cut the number of preseason games in half.

The NFLPA also voted on a conference call last week in favor of not playing any preseason games ahead of the 2020 season, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, so a meeting between the Jets and Eagles is seeming less likely.
