9. Denzel Mims, Baylor
Baylor hit the reset button in coach Matt Rhule’s first season in the Waco, but the Bears are poised for marked improvement in 2018, especially with quarterback Charlie Brewer taking a step forward as a sophomore. Brewer and Mims connected frequently last season, as the Texas native ended the year with 61 catches for 1,087 yards and eight touchdowns. Mims posted 192 yards against Oklahoma and 132 versus West Virginia last fall.
Mims is one of 10 Big 12 receivers to make the list, joining Jalen McCleskey of Oklahoma State (47), TJ Vasher of Texas Tech (45), Jalen Reagor of TCU (40), Hakeem Butler of Iowa State (35), Collin Johnson of Texas (26), Gary Jennings of West Virginia (21), CeeDee Lamb of Oklahoma (15), Marquise Brown of Oklahoma (10), and David Sills of West Virignia (2).
