Broncos WR Marvin Mims wants to fit in at Pro Bowl

After being elected to the Pro Bowl last month, Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims was asked if he’s eager to meet NFL stars in Orlando.

“I don’t want to fan boy,” Mims said with a smile on Jan. 4. “That’s kind of weird. It’s going to be cool to hang out with a lot of those guys. We have a good amount of [University of Oklahoma] guys there too, so it’s going to be good to connect with them. I’m excited. I don’t want to fan boy. I kind of want to fit in.”

Mims should fit right in. As one of the best special teams players in the league, he belongs at the Pro Bowl. The rookie receiver had a quiet year on offense, but he averaged 26.5 yards per kickoff return and 16.4 yards per punt return in 2023.

“I think it was a really good rookie class,” Broncos general manager George Paton said at the team’s end-of-season press conference. “You didn’t see it on Sundays all the time, but we saw it in practice. Marvin Mims had a Pro Bowl year as a returner. [He’s a] work in progress as a receiver, but he had some really big moments.”

This year’s Pro Bowl flag football game will be played at Camping World Stadium on Sunday, Feb. 4 in Orlando.
