Chicago Bears

Wims was drafted by the Chicago Bears in the seventh round (224 overall) of the 2018 NFL draft.[17] He made his NFL debut in Week 4 of the 2018 season against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.[18] He recorded his first four professional receptions for 32 yards in the regular season finale against the Minnesota Vikings.[19]

Wims played in all 16 games in 2019 primarily as reserve, and he started 6 games due to Taylor Gabriel being put on concussion protocol numerous times. He reached career-highs in yards (Week 4 against the Vikings), receptions (Week 13 against the Detroit Lions), and caught his first touchdown pass against the New Orleans Saints in Week 7.[20][21][22] He ended his season with 18 receptions for 186 yards and a touchdown.

On November 1, 2020, Wims was ejected after punching New Orleans Saints' cornerback C. J. Gardner-Johnson which led to a scuffle in the third quarter of the 26–23 overtime loss after Gardner-Johnson ripped off his mouthpiece.[23][24][25] Wims stated that Gardner-Johnson also spat on him prior to the scuffle but Gardner-Johnson denied the report.[26] The next day, the NFL suspended Wims without pay for two games.[27][26] He was reinstated from suspension on November 17, 2020.[28][29]

On August 26, 2021, Wims was waived by the Bears.[30]
