But the PFF grades back up my eye test on when I did view Mims. It has been two games in a row now where he completely whiffed on blocking his man, barely getting a touch on him at all. Last game, that resulted in Burrow scrambling for his life and throwing the interception.
Mims is a brand new rookie, without NFL experience, so I'm not concerned. But I would not label his performance "outstanding" to date and the PFF grades reflect that his pass blocking has been poor.
The interception was more on Jamarr turning the opposite direction than Burrow thought he was going than it was on Mims. And wasn't he blocking Clowney on that play? For a rookie in his 2nd game, I think he's doing an outstanding job. I already have more faith in him than I did Jonah.
