The 2019 NFL Draft class is filled with a ton of defensive talent. Among that talent is defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons out of Mississippi State. In three seasons at Mississippi State, Simmons amassed 162 total tackles, seven sacks, four forced fumbles, and six pass deflections. Even in a crowded defensive class, Simmons had the potential to be a top 10 selection this coming April.
That all changed, however, last week when Simmons tore his ACL in a routine workout. The injury will, obviously, prevent him from playing in 2019, and will drive his stock in the draft way down.
