CINCINNATI — Amarius Mims is ready to attack his sophomore NFL season with a Pro-Bowl mentality. He noted that it is his big individual goal this coming season in an interview with Local 12’s Yanny Tragellis.

Mims struggled a bit as a rookie (57.8 Pro Football Focus grade), but he has the right mentality to keep growing.

“I want to be a Pro Bowler,” Mims declared in the sitdown. “I want to take that big step. I want to mature my game, mature up here, mature in the film room, just mature out on the field, in practice. Just not getting bored doing the same stuff over and over again because that’s how you become a good player.”

Mims has a great mentor to lean on in Orlando Brown Jr. and has been a quiet worker on the team since getting drafted last April.

A fresh offensive line voice in Scott Peters could be the perfect new tweak to keep Mims on an upward trajectory. Check out the full conversation with Tragellis here.
