CINCINNATI — Amarius Mims has been one of the few young bright spots for the Bengals this season. The rookie's one of the better pass-blockers in the league, cementing that further on Sunday against Pittsburgh.

According to Gridiron Grading, Mims is one of three NFL players along with Tristan Wirfs and Ronnie Stanley to post zero sacks allowed on 150-plus true pass sets this season.

Mims has gradually improved throughout the year, posting his best pass-blocking PFF grade of the season against Pittsburgh (74.9 overall). The 22-year-old is just scratching the surface of his potential and has banked 617 valuable snaps so far as a rookie.

He has not graded below 62 overall in any of the past four games. Cincinnati may have its offensive tackle spots well-insured over the next couple of seasons if this keeps up.

Bengals rookie RT Amarius Mims is one of just three OTs with over 150 true pass set opportunities this season who hasn’t allowed a single sack.

The other two? Tristan Wirfs and Ronnie Stanley.
