When Marvin Mims Jr. fielded a punt against the Colts, little did he know it’d turn into a celebration! You could almost hear the crowd hold its collective breath as he caught the ball, calculating his next move with the kind of instinct you can’t coach. Against the Colts, Mims Jr showed his class. Oozing the sass he came in with back in 2023... That 61-yard punt return? Pure magic. He juked defenders, turned on the jets, and set up a momentum-shifting touchdown that helped the Broncos secure a 31-13 win. “Dude is a playmaker,” John Franklin-Myers said, summing it up perfectly. And let’s be honest, he wasn’t wrong.

But here’s the thing: Mims’ rise isn’t just about the numbers or the highlights. It’s also about the people who shaped him into the player we see today. You’ve got to wonder—who’s behind this dynamic talent? Who are the ones cheering the loudest (literally screaming at the top of their lungs), snapping pictures, and maybe even wiping away a tear when he scored that Pro Bowl nod as a rookie? That’s his parents for you.

Who are Marvin Mim Sr. and Rhonda?

When the Orange Crush called Marvin Mim Jr, Mim Sr and Rhonda were there. Oklahoma posted the snap of the parents cutely eavesdropping in on their son receiving the call! The caption of the post was simple: “Proud parents.” 

That’s not surprising, though. You see, Mims Jr. grew up in a close-knit family in Frisco, Texas, where he first learned to catch and kick footballs. He made sure to do it without growing distant with his two siblings: DeAndre and Raven.

Although Marvin Mim Sr and his wife Rhonda made sure to maintain an equilibrium when it came to loving each of their children. They fully support their NFL son via social media sharing his updates there. They are not very vocal about their profile, like their job and other personal details. But when Marvin Jr. decided to choose a pro-life for himself, they supported him heartily. So, you can understand why he required a little extra attention.

How have Marvin Mim Jr’s parents played an integral role in their son’s NFL career?

A LITTLE EXTRA? No! Marvin Mim Jr’s parents left no stone unturned. Marvin Sr. and Rhonda have been through the trenches with him, went to the practice with him, and then on game days, they were in stands for him, since day one. And get this—Mims Sr. hasn’t missed a single game his son has played. That’s not just dedication; that’s doing the grind with his son.

“Everybody is super excited,” said Mims Sr. back in 2023 ahead of his son’s debut in the regular season. “He’s done everything the right way, and just to see him live out this dream is a blessing.” You can almost feel the pride oozing through his words.

And when it was D-DAY, the Mims made sure it was a full-on little fan club for Marvin. Mims Jr. had 19 family members show up for his debut. That’s some serious squad goals right there. No surprise, though—Marvin Sr. proudly recalls his son never facing a defensive back faster than him in high school.

It’s clear Mims Jr. didn’t just inherit speed and talent; he grew up in a home that nurtured hard work, discipline, and a relentless belief in chasing dreams. And his family’s support? Yeah, we can say the real foundation of everything he’s accomplished (and will do).
