We knew Deon Simon was a strongman from the time the Jets took him in the seventh round of the 2015 draft out of Northwestern State. And the 6-foot-4, 332-pounder, who didn't play his rookie season, started to throw his weight around in the second half of 2016.
"I just gave it my all and I do what I can to help out," Simon said after registering his first half-sack as a pro in the first half of Game 12 against Andrew Luck and the Colts.
He added his first full sack in the season finale, taking down Bills rookie Cardale Jones from behind.
