We are nearly a year removed from the Commissioner standing in Nashville announcing that the Tennessee Titans had selected Jeffery Simmons with the 19th pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.
I’ll be honest, I wasn’t thrilled with this pick at first. After all, he had torn his ACL only two months prior to the Titans selecting him and it wasn’t exactly a position of need.
Simmons would start the season on the non-football injury list, and finally made his NFL debut in Week 7 against the Los Angeles Chargers. He wasted no time showing why people said he was worth a first round pick even if you had to “redshirt” him, collecting 4 tackles and 1 sack in his first NFL game.
