Bio
Jonathan Mingo was a three-star prospect out of Brandon High School in Mississippi. There, he caught 77 passes for 1,451 yards and 14 touchdowns during his 2018 senior season. He chose to sign with Ole Miss over offers from Georgia, Mississippi State, Auburn, Arkansas, Notre Dame, and Oregon, to name a few. Mingo started all 12 games as a true freshman, catching 12 passes for 172 yards and one touchdown. He just about doubled that production in his sophomore campaign before taking in 22 receptions for 346 yards and three touchdowns in 2021. Mingo missed seven games that season due to injury. That brings us to 2022, when Mingo had his best season. He totaled 861 receiving yards and five touchdowns on 51 receptions.

Bottom Line:
Jonathan Mingo is a big, strong receiver who wins with size and physical toughness. He struggles to create separation down the field and relies a bit too much on contested catches. Mingo’s production at Ole Miss was underwhelming, to say the least, including his breakout 2022 campaign. In the NFL, Mingo projects as a big slot receiver who will get on the field in large part thanks to his willingness and ability to block in the run game. He will also take a few manufactured touches and turn them into positive yardage by running both around and through defenders. Mingo will likely hear his name called late day two or day three of the NFL Draft. He may end up being over-drafted in dynasty.
