Report: Seahawks bringing Jeffery Simmons in for pre-draft visit

Simmons, widely considered one of the 10 most talented prospects in the entire draft, comes with a pair of red flags. The first, and certainly most important, stems from a video that surfaced in 2016 of Simmons striking a woman who was fighting with his sister. Simmons was found guilty of malicious mischief and simple assault, but was never suspended by the Bulldogs for the incident.
