Chris Simms on his Brother: Famous Last Name is Why He’s Not Getting a Chance

Even while he was a member of the disastrous New York Jets quarterback depth chart over the past three seasons, Matt Simms existed in relative obscurity. Over the past two seasons, the former Tennessee quarterback has thrown just 39 regular season passes.

Never considered much of a NFL prospect, Simms went undrafted back in 2012. This came on the heels him throwing just eight touchdowns compared to eight interceptions in two seasons with the Volunteers.

Needless to say, Simms is pretty irrelevant by NFL standards.

This didn’t stop his brother, Chris, from stepping up in defense of his younger sibling and blaming outside factors for him not getting a fair shake in New York (via CBS New York).
