Superstar Titans defender makes strongest case yet for All-Pro recognition
NFL: DEC 21 Chiefs at Titans | Icon Sportswire/GettyImagesThe Tennessee Titans were defeated 34-26 by the surging New Orleans Saints in Sunday's Week 17 contest. It was a lackluster performance by a defense which was forced to start several practice-squad level players. The lone bright spot defensively was superstar defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons.
Simmons is arguably enjoying the best season of his career in 2025. In Sunday's loss to the Saints, the former Mississippi State standout achieved a statistical feat for the first time in his illustrious career. Simmons' strip-sack of Saints rookie quarterback Tyler Shough brought him to 10 sacks on the year, his first double-digit sack season.
