Broncos coach Sean Payton said “I’m mad at myself that we didn’t begin looking at this earlier,” when asked about Marvin Mims’ expanded role as a running back of late.
Marvin Mims caught both of his targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos’ Week 11 win against the Falcons, adding three rushes for four yards.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler said, “I’m told that the Broncos will use receiver Marvin Mims Jr. in a variety of ways, as an ‘explosive play guy’ on the outside for the new quarterback and possibly as a creative option for the new kickoff returns.”
