Scouting Report: Strengths

• Mills displays good lateral movement skills, capable of working his way down the line with decent range when chasing in pursuit.
• Despite his relatively tall frame, Mills typically plays with a low enough pad level and natural power to push the pocket with the bull rush.
• Made Bruce Feldman's Freak's List - ranked #56. He wrote "The 6-5, 292-pound former high school discus thrower and shot putter is a player to watch. Mills, who had three sacks in 2021, is really strong, having benched 420 this offseason, but also moves very well, clocking 19 mph on the GPS. Mills’ explosiveness also is reflected in his hang clean peak output of 2828 and his power clean peak output of 2,854 — both totals are higher than his super freaky linemate Isaiah Foskey (2,674, 2,696, respectively)."
• He’s a high-motor player, and he shows good enough hand use, as well as a tight spin move, to win as an edge rusher.
• He could be molded to fit as a three-technique, five-technique, or edge rusher at the next level. Mills has the ability to thrive as a versatile pass rusher as well as a run stuffer.
• His long limbs and strong core strength allow him to power through blockers, and he has the flexibility to loop inside and get home on twists.
• Has the long arms and hand strength to win at the point consistently; strong throughout the upper body and has good agility for his size.
