Amarius Mims draws All-Pro buzz after dominant Bengals performance
Bengals right tackle Amarius Mims allowed zero pressures over 37 pass-blocking snaps in Cincinnati’s Week 1 win over Tampa Bay.
Cincinnati Bengals right tackle Amarius Mims made a strong impression during the NFL season opener. Mims entered the game with high expectations, and his performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers provided evidence that he could be more than just a solid player. According to Gridiron Grading, which referenced Pro Football Focus' initial charting, Mims did not have any pressures on him during his 37 pass-blocking snaps in Cincinnati's 33-27 victory over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
If this performance continues, it could mark the highest pass-blocking grade of Mims' career. Gridiron Grading also noted that Mims primarily faced Buccaneers rookie edge rusher Rueben Bain Jr. and suggested that his performance indicates he is on the verge of an All-Pro status. Mims, Cincinnati's 18th overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft, has shown exceptional talent throughout his young career when he has been healthy.
With a promising start to his third NFL season, Mims appears to be off to about as strong a beginning as Cincinnati could have hoped for.
