Antjuan Simmons was the heartbeat of the Michigan State defense the past two seasons. The linebacker from Ann Arbor started all 20 games in that span and finished as a second-team All-Big Ten Conference selection and team captain in 2020.
Now, he's declared for the NFL draft, which began Thursday night and runs through Saturday. Over the past few months, Simmons has been detailing his training and interviewing with teams with the Lansing State Journal in an ongoing draft diary, as told to LSJ reporter Nate Atkins. His fourth and final entry focuses on draft week finally arriving.
