2019 NFL Draft Prospect Profile: DT Jeffery Simmons

Unfortunately, news was released less than a week ago that Jeffery Simmons suffered a torn ACL during practice for the upcoming combine. The injury comes at the worst possible time and will no doubt hamper his draft stock come April. That said, I believe that Simmons will most definitely garner a third-round selection at the very least, even with the risk that he might not take the field in 2019. Below, you can find out exactly why.
