The Denver Broncos are 0-2 to start the NFL season, a disappointing start to the Sean Payton era. However, the Broncos have remained competitive, losing to the Las Vegas Raiders 17-16 and the Washington Commanders 35-33.
Rookie wide receiver Marvin Mims was a bright spot in their Week 2 loss to Washington, catching two passes for 113 yards and a touchdown. Mims performance garnered him a “Secret Superstar” nomination from Touchdown Wire’s Doug Farrar. Touchdown Wire describes Secret Superstars as unsung heroes for their respective NFL teams.

The Broncos are still going through growing pains in the Sean Payton-Russell Wilson marriage, and that’s played out on several different levels. But the addition of Mims, the second-round rookie from Oklahoma, has given Wilson the deep threat he didn’t have in 2022. In Denver’s 35-33 loss to the Washington Commanders, Mims caught just two passes… for 113 yards and a touchdown. Mims is a smaller recover at 5-foot-11 and 185 pounds, but his 4.38 speed shows up on his NFL tape pretty immediately.
Mims and Denver will aim to right the ship when they take on the Miami Dolphins in Week 3. To view Farrar’s complete list of Secret Superstars from Week 2, visit Touchdown Wire.
