However, he was waived by the Bears in 2021 and later had brief stints with the Arizona Cardinals and the Cleveland Browns before finding himself on the Panthers' radar.
In 2022, Wims appeared in one game with the Arizona Cardinals before joining the Panthers for training camp.
He is now determined to secure a role on Carolina's roster or potentially earn a spot on their practice squad as they gear up for the preseason.
