And Pro Football Focus’ Bradley Locker agrees. He named Mims to his All-Breakout Team for 2026.

The analyst said Mims was raw coming out of Georgia but is quickly realizing his potential. Here’s what Locker wrote:

Mims’ second season in Cincinnati was decent on the surface with a 67.6 overall PFF grade, finishing with no higher than a 66.6 mark in both pass- and run-blocking. But Mims really hit his stride in the second half of 2025, earning an 81.0 overall grade from Weeks 12-18. In those seven weeks, Mims didn’t give up a sack and produced a 76.6 PFF run-blocking score.

Locker added that the entire o-line of Cincinnati returning this year will only help Mims’ development further.

The other breakout players projected in the AFC North are tight end Harold Fannin Jr. for the Cleveland Browns, guard Mason McCormick of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and linebacker Teddye Buchanan of the Baltimore Ravens.

Speaking of linebackers, the Bengals still need to add a veteran to that position group. We discussed that in our most recent show.
