Mims signed with the Steelers’ practice squad back in October, 2023 and was waived in June, 2024.

Mims had a terrific career at Baylor, hauling in 186 passes for just under 3,000 yards and 28 touchdowns, which led to him being selected by the Jets in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft. In three seasons with New York, he caught just 42 passes in 30 games. He was traded to the Detroit Lions in 2023, but waived before the season kicked off.
