Rarely do we dream of behemoths standing at 6-foot-7 and weighing 340 pounds. However, for San Francisco 49ers’ GM John Lynch, with multiple gaps in the offensive line, such a dream seems fitting. Bleacher Report suggests that Lynch should envision a player of that stature – Amarius Mims, the colossal Georgia tackle. Despite being part of two national championship-winning teams with the Bulldogs, Mims has had a limited role, featuring in only 30 games and playing 803 snaps over the past three years due to injuries. He played just seven games last season due to an ankle injury and is currently in the process of recovering from surgery.
Amarius Mims has fully recovered from tightrope surgery on his ankle and plans to participate in all on-field testing and drills at the Combine, according to ESPN’s Jordan Reid. Bleacher Report’s Ryan Fowler envisions Mims as a potential fit for the San Francisco 49ers, citing the team’s need for a right tackle following the departure of Mike McGlinchey. Mims, a former Georgia Bulldog, has the potential to become one of the best tackles in his class and could eventually slide over to left tackle. While the 49ers could benefit from addressing their offensive line, they may also consider a young pass rusher with their No. 31 pick. Despite injury concerns, Mims is an exceptional athlete who could be a high-upside risk worth taking for San Francisco.
