Honestly doesn't surprise me. When I first heard of Mims only having only 8 games as a starter I was against him instantly until I saw
the film and learned that he had a lot more snaps than those 8 starts insinuate, but was banged up for various reasons and had great
players to compete against. You watch his film and you see a huge, athletic OL that has great balance and untapped potential.
Mims looks completely polished against elite competition in the SEC on a Championship team. He handled JT the End of OSU that gave
all the other OT's in this class tons of problems with his speed/strength combo. Mims can handle speed or power, something you cannot
say about big Tackles like Orlando Brown etc.
Amarius Mims moves like a giant TE out there. Just a freak of nature. He doesn't move like a 340 pound man that is 6'8".
When I saw the film of the best chances to be a Bengal my 2 favorite players ended up being Byron Murphy and Amarius Mims, but my
nod in the end went to Mims even if I loved Murphy. I would of been a bit sad if we passed up on Mims, and was a bit surprised Murphy
went ahead of us to the Seahawks who I thought would of taken Fautanu. But I am not sad we have Mims and didn't get Murphy.
