After playing just eight games due to injuries and personal struggles, Simmons is entering OTAs ready to grow — guided by veterans Creed Humphrey and Jawaan Taylor. He’s internalized Humphrey’s key advice: staying calm against elite pass rushers is critical to avoiding costly mistakes. With a projected strong offensive line featuring rising stars like Suamataia and seasoned anchors like Humphrey and Smith, Simmons’ path to becoming a cornerstone hinges on consistency and staying healthy. His pass-blocking grade last year ranked 25th — but with better health and mentorship, he’s poised to soar. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
