40. Jeffery Simmons

From Mississippi State, Jeffery Simmons was a First Round Pick (19th Overall) by Tennessee in 2019.  Starting late due to a torn ACL, Simmons began his career in October, working his way to a starting role on the Defensive Line, and over the years, he worked his way to the upper echelon of Defensive Tackles.

A top-shelf disruptor, Simmons has been recognized with three Pro Bowls and two AP Second Team All-Pros in the last four seasons.  Simmons enters this season with 31.5 Sacks and 309 Combined Tackles, and has the goods to add a fourth Pro Bowl in 2025.
