Elijah Simmons hasn’t played a down of college football yet, but he’s already got at least one fan in the NFL. Texans star defensive lineman JJ Watt singled out Simmons last night on the NFL Draft stage.
As Nashville hosted the draft, the Titans chose to bring captains up on stage from 13 different metro schools within the city. Simmons can be see wearing his No. 72 jersey below on stage with Roger Goodell as the Titans selected Jeffery Simmons 19th overall.
We’ll see if Tennessee has a player picked this weekend but signee Elijah Simmons (#72 to the left of Goodell) got on the stage during the first round, that counts just the same yes?
