Bengals Land Amarius Mims
The Bengals have made a significant addition to their team with the drafting of Georgia RT Amarius Mims. At 6-8 and 340 pounds, Mims is a massive presence on the field, and his athleticism has impressed coaches. “He’s huge. A monster. Humungous,” said Bengals offensive line coach Frank Pollack. With his size and movement, Mims is expected to be a valuable asset to the team.
The Bengals’ new draft pick is an imposing figure on the field.
Deshaun Watson’s Future in Doubt
Deshaun Watson’s performance since joining the Browns has been underwhelming, to say the least. Former NFL wide receiver James Jones believes that Watson’s best days are behind him, saying, “I think the Deshaun Watson of the Houston Texans is gone.” With his current form, it’s hard to disagree.
