Weaknesses:
Summary: Mingo was a solid receiver for the Rebels over the past three seasons. In 2020, he contributed 27 catches for 379 yards and three scores. Mingo then recorded 22 catches for 346 yards and three touchdowns in 2021. The senior was the No. 1 receiver for Ole Miss in 2022, pulling in 51 catches for 861 yards and five touchdowns. After the season, Mingo had a strong showing at the Senior Bowl.
Mingo could be a solid contributor No. 2 receiver to an NFL passing attack as a possessional wideout. He shows quality route-running technique and is a competitive receiver who fights for the football. Mingo tracks the ball well, utilizes late hands, and is adept at making catches over defensive backs. He has good size and is able to use his build to shield defenders from the football. After the catch, Mingo runs well and is able to add yardage plus displays some strength to break tackles. He shows some good body control along the sideline to stay in bounds while reeling in passes with close coverage. He is a gritty, and competitive wide receiver who has a nose for the end zone.
Mingo is more of a secondary receiver for the NFL because he lacks enough speed to present a mismatch against pro corners. To go along with not being very fast, Mingo is not a twitchy or explosive athlete, so he could have separation issues with corners at the next level. The speed and twitch limitations are what make Mingo more of a solid No. 2 receiver for the NFL rather than a featured No. 1.
In the 2023 NFL Draft, Mingo probably will end up being a second- or third-round pick.
Player Comparison: Mohamed Sanu. Mingo kind of reminds me of Sanu. Sanu (6-2, 210) and Mingo are almost identical in size with a gritty style of play. After being a second-day pick, Sanu has had a solid career as a possessional receiver. Mingo could follow a similar professional path.
