Marvin Mims hasn’t emerged as the offensive game-changer that the Broncos were likely envisioning when they selected him in the second-round of the 2023 draft. Entering the final season of his rookie contract, it’s once again uncertain where Mims will land in the offensive pecking order. However, the receiver has made it clear that he’d like to stick in Denver.

“I don’t know what can happen,” Mims admitted when discussing his expiring contract (via Chris Tomasson of the Denver Gazette). “We’ll see within the next year, but I know I want to enjoy being a Denver Bronco as long as I can. I’m not really thinking about what’s next. Mostly just having my feet in the moment.”

The Oklahoma product showed flashes as a rookie when he averaged 13.1 yards per touch. He followed that up with a solid sophomore campaign, when he finished with 52 touches for 545 yards and six touchdowns. However, those numbers took a step back in 2025, as Mims finished the year with 49 touches for 400 yards and two scores.

Still, the 24-year-old has found other ways to contribute to the Broncos. He earned All-Pro nods in 2023 and 2024 for his special teams ability. He returned a kickoff for a touchdown as a rookie, and he led the NFL with 15.7 yards per punt as a sophomore. He finished this past year with a career-high 29 punt returns for a league-leading 452 yards and one touchdown.

Mims ability to contribute in multiple facets of the game makes him a useful piece, but it’s uncertain if the Broncos are counting on him as a foundational piece moving forward. The organization went out and acquired Jaylen Waddle this offseason, pairing the star wideout with Courtland Sutton atop the depth chart. With Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant also attached to rookie deals, the 2026 campaign could prove to be Mims’ final year in Denver.
