OT Amarius Mims
The first-round pick spent the offseason and first three weeks of training camp impressing everyone around him with how quickly he’d taken to the job of starting right tackle and his approach to learning the position.To keep his momentum going toward winning the Week 1 starting job, he needed to not fall on his face in his first game action. He did the opposite. Mims held up well for his two drives of action, specifically the 12-play touchdown drive by Burrow, where the QB wasn’t touched.
Trent Brown has 10 years’ experience in the league, but his lack of reps next to Alex Cappa and the impression made by Mims has the rookie continuing on a track toward starting immediately.
