Red River Rivalry beef breaks out in Denver Broncos camp between former Longhorn, Sooner

A Red River Rivalry has broken out at Denver Broncos training camp and the beef isn’t even about the Longhorns and Sooners. (Although it probably actually is) Texas Ex Malcolm Roach and former Sooners WR Marvin Mims have been going back and forth with snack talk all training camp long.

Mims let the media in on the beef last week. Mims says the smack-talking at practice is all Roach, who happens to be Mims’ locker neighbor. “I sit next to him in the locker room, guy doesn’t shut up,” Mims said of Roach. “He’s talking crap to receivers. It’s like, ‘Dude, like, you’re a fat guy. Like, go worry about that. Leave me alone.’ But, no, we’re always going back and forth. But with him, it’s just a whole ‘nother deal.”

Roach addressed Mims the next day to the media. “Y’all think I really worry about 19, bruh?” Roach said. “I see him every day at the locker right by mine. He talk all — you all think I talk, he really talk more than me — but, I ain’t worried about Marvin. Because Marvin know he not about to cut that ball back across the middle. That’s all I really have to say on that. And Marvin like a mosquito, bro, like he need to worry about that. I could lose this weight. He can’t change them looks.”

Roach, a 6-3, 290-pound defensive tackle, towers over the 5-11, 182-pound Mims. The 27-year-old Roach is coming off the best season with 43 tackles and 2.5 sacks. Mims was an All-Pro last year after totaling 1,147 all-purpose yards and scoring six touchdowns in 2024. Both will be key players for the Broncos in 2025.
