Tennessee Titans defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons is coming off a career year in 2021 that cemented him among the league’s elite interior defenders.
As a result, Pro Football Focus’ Trevor Sikkema recently listed Simmons as one of the best players under the age of 25 in the NFL, placing him at No. 8 on the list. Here’s what Sikkema had to say:
The former first-round pick made his third NFL season his best yet. Simmons racked up 8.5 sacks and ranked second on the Titans with 62 pressures in 2021. He has always had high ceiling potential, and this year he was able to show that more consistently than ever before. At his best, he’s a top-five interior defensive lineman in the NFL.
