Broncos WR Marvin Mims made franchise history in 2024

After being elected to the 2025 Pro Bowl in December, Denver Broncos receiver/returner Marvin Mims became just the second player in franchise history to reach the all-star game in each of his first two seasons.

Mims joined Von Miller (2011-2012) in that distinction after leading the NFL with 15.7 yards per punt return in 2024, becoming the first player in franchise history to lead the league in that category since Rick Upchurch in 1983 (16.1).

Mims’ career average of 16.0 yards per punt return ranks first in Broncos history among players with at least 10 returns. His 720 career punt return yards mark the fourth-most through two seasons in franchise history.

Mims has also made huge plays as a receiver and running back on offense this season. The second-year speedster became the first Bronco since Emmanuel Sanders (2015) to score multiple touchdown catches longer than 50 yards in a single season, and he was a threat to make plays like this every week:

Mims ended the year with 39 receptions for 503 yards and six touchdowns while adding 13 carries for 42 yards and three first downs.
