CINCINNATI — Amarius Mims has a major opportunity in front of him on Sunday during his first NFL start. The smiling rookie caught up with the media on Wednesday and dove into how much he's valued help from veterans like the now-injured Trent Brown and Orlando Brown Jr. with Carolina on deck.

The 6-7, 340-pound talent struggled in his first game with a 47.7 PFF grade across 39 snaps. He had some strong moments though across Cincinnati's 33-point losing performance.

"They have made life so much easier for me," Mims said about the veterans. "I can't put it into words, I owe them the world. I'm so thankful for those guys, because without them, I would not be what I am right now, honestly."

Mims noted how much mental help they've given him amidst the team's 0-3 start.

"Just the mental part," Mims noted. "Just coming from college, I've never really, like, lost games like that, or had to face adversity other than my ankle in college. But realizing it's a long season, injuries happen. And keeping my head on straight, whether that be on the field, off the field, and in the film room and all the other stuff. Man, so they just keep me locked in in all aspects."
