New York Jets: Backup wide receiver Denzel Mims didn't say, "Play me or trade me," but he absolutely believes he deserves to be playing. The disappointing 2020 second-round pick envisions himself as a starter, saying, "I see myself on top." He added, "I show it every day. It's up to [the coaches] if they play me or not, but I show every day what I can do and I'm going to continue to do that." Mims, whose first two seasons were impacted by injuries and illnesses, has improved in all areas, earning praise from coaches. Problem is, the Jets have good depth at receiver. Right now, he's no better than fifth or sixth on the depth chart. He's trying to establish a role on special teams, but he's never done it before, which hurts his value. Don't be surprised if his name pops up in trade speculation as the regular season draws near. -- Rich Cimini
