Report: Oklahoma receiver Marvin Mims will declare for 2023 NFL Draft
Oklahoma wideout Marvin Mims is reportedly off to the NFL, according to NFL insider Matt Miller. He tweeted Friday that the talented OU receiver will declare for the 2023 NFL Draft. Here was the tweet with the news:
“Oklahoma wide receiver Marvin Mims has officially declared for the 2023 NFL Draft, per sources. The OU wideout caught 6 TDs and averaged over 20 yards per catch in 2022. He’ll be in the mix among the tops at the position.”
Mims has been a top target in the Sooner offense ever since he stepped foot on campus three years ago. As a true freshman, he surpassed 600 receiving yards. Then, as a sophomore, eclipsed 700. 2022 was his best yet, as Mims broke the 1,000-yard seal, accumulating 1,083 yards and six touchdowns for OU this fall. Heck of a playmaker.
