Denzel Mims
Definition
An American professional football wide receiver, known for his collegiate career at Baylor and subsequent career in the NFL, often cited in sports media as a cautionary example of high-draft-pick expectations failing to materialize into on-field production.
A term occasionally used in sports fantasy leagues or draft analysis to describe a highly-touted prospect whose professional output significantly underperforms relative to their pre-draft hype.
