Jets wide receiver Denzel Mims has been through quite a few obstacles so far this season.An offseason illne s kept the second-year wideout off the practice field, relegating him to the sidelines early on thanks to a talented wide receiver room.Like last year, Mims has flashed potential when he's secured playing time, but those snaps have been Patrick Eaves Jersey few and far between in 2021. That in mind, it's no surprise that Mims' name leading up to the deadline on Tuesday.New York ended up holding on to everyone in their wide receiver room, though. Mims included.Asked about Mims specifically, and his usage this year, Jets general manager Joe Douglas praised the 24-year-old for his work ethic and maturity during a season full of adversity."Obviously, Denzel struggled in OTAs with a little bit of a stomach sickne s, and I think once hes gotten back to training camp, I think all youve seen is growth," Douglas told reporters on Jay Beagle Jersey Tuesday. "And thats a credit to him and the work ethic that hes put in. His ability to try and refine all of his techniques and grow, and grow as all-around, well-rounded wide receiver, hes put in that time. Again, a little bit Mike White , hes done a lot it in the shadows where no one can really see, except for the people in this building. But youre seeing that start to come Paul Carey Jersey to fruition. And hes earned the right to get more playing time and hes going to continue to earn the right because hes handled himself like a real pro. Im excited about him moving forward."READ: Scroll to ContinueEven if Mims has earned more playing time, it seems like he's the odd man outat Jonathan Ericsson Jersey least until another key contributor at wide receiver is injured. That was the case last week. Corey Davis was inactive with a hip injury and Mims played 59 offensive snaps (more than he had played through the first seven weeks of the season combined).As much as New York moved the football through the air quite a bit during that gamewith Mike White throwing for 405 yardsMims only had two catches for 30 yards.Nonethele s, Douglas isn Mattias Ekholm Jersey 't alone in his optimism regarding Mims' future and ceiling. Depending on how this roster shapes up after this season, perhaps the Baylor product will secure an expanded role, getting more opportunities to prove himself and stuff the stat sheet.Until then, he'll continue working in the shadows, grinding to get better each and every day.MORE:
