NFL Defensive Tackle for the Chicago Bears; Four-Time Pro Bowler; First-Team All-Pro; Walter Payton Man of the Year Nominee
Jeffery Simmons Biography
Jeffery Simmons is a defensive tackle in the National Football League known for his resilience and impact on the field. At Mississippi State, Simmons started 28 games for the Bulldogs, recording 163 tackles, seven sacks, seven passes defensed, and two defensive touchdowns. He received the Conerly Trophy, awarded annually to the best college football player in Mississippi.
Simmons was selected by the Tennessee Titans with the 19th pick in the NFL Draft. After beginning his rookie season on the reserve/non-football injury list while recovering from a torn ACL, Simmons joined the Titans' starting lineup and established himself as a leading defensive lineman. He was named AFC Defensive Player of the Week during his rookie campaign and became a central figure on the Titans' defense.
A five-time captain, four-time Pro Bowler, and three-time Community Man of the Year for the Titans, Simmons earned first-team All-Pro honors after previously being named second-team All-Pro. In his standout campaign, he recorded a career-high 11 sacks, 60 quarterback pressures, 67 tackles, 17 tackles for loss, and three forced fumbles, breaking the franchise record for sacks in a season by a Titans defensive tackle. Simmons was recognized by the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame as Professional Athlete of the Year. Alongside Aaron Donald, Simmons is one of only two NFL defensive tackles in the past decade to record at least 10 sacks, 16 tackles for loss, three forced fumbles, and three passes defensed in a single season.
Following his All-Pro season, the Titans signed Simmons to a three-year extension. His tenure in Tennessee concluded when Chicago acquired him in a trade, exchanging two first-round picks to add Simmons to the Bears' defensive front. Entering the trade, Simmons led all defensive tackles in pressures, according to Next Gen Stats. Now with the Chicago Bears, Simmons continues to be recognized for his journey from a college injury to a prominent role in professional football, exemplifying perseverance and excellence in the NFL.
