Georgia Bulldogs offensive tackle Amarius Mims is entering the 2024 NFL Draft, and old clips of him in high school are resurfacing — and the size difference between him and his teammates is hysterical.

Mims played for the Bulldogs the last two seasons and, at 21, is only a few years removed from high school.
He's now heading into the NFL Draft, listed at 6-feet-7 and 330 pounds. Based on the clip above, he doesn't look much shorter than that, if at all. Meanwhile, everyone else is "regularly" sized.
As expected, users on X had a field day with this clip.

How does he block any of those guys when they are all at crotch height??
Also, I hope he declares as an eligible receiver on the goal line because you can just lob him the ball for a TD every single time.

One of his coaches said there was a game where the defense specifically had a DL cut Mims the entire game. Go low, take his legs out each time. Took out their guy but better to wash 1 for 1 than let Mims take out two of their players.

"One of his coaches said there was a game where the defense specifically had a DL cut Mims the entire game. Go low, take his legs out each time. Took out their guy but better to wash 1 for 1 than let Mims take out two of their players," a user said, referencing something a coach for Mims' high school team supposedly said.

NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah posted a mock draft recently that had Mims landing with the Baltimore Ravens at No. 30 overall.
