Mims is twitchy and has the speed and explosive movements to develop into a really athletic cornerback prospect at Wagner. He shows good ball skills on offense and while there is not a ton of defensive tape from Mims due to a lot of offensive success at Curtis the projection of his ball skills is there. Mims also can impact the game on special teams and could end up being a return man at some point in his career.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-660c6da8892d3"} /--> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rest of the Class</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["725774"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='725774' first='Isaiah' last='Davis'] out of Elmont is a fast RB prospect who has the ability to turn any run into a large gain.
