Jeffery Simmons DT Mississippi State 6′ 4″ 300 pounds September 8 vs Kansas State
Positives – carries 300-plus pounds well. Big frame with well distributed weight and little flab. Played both DT spots in a four-man front and the nose tackle position in three-man fronts. Immediately displayed strength and power and continued to do so throughout the game. Constantly walked his man back towards the quarterback on passing plays. Generally held his ground against the run. Had a sack and made multiple tackles for loss. Can chase plays down from behind. Not quite the athlete Rashan Gary is, but is still surprisingly athletic for his size.
