He earned first-team All-Pro honors in 2025 after being named second-team All-Pro in 2021 and 2022. After beginning his rookie season recovering from a torn ACL while training for the draft, Simmons has been very durable. Over the past six seasons, he’s started at least 15 games five times. His 2025 season was the best of his career, setting career-highs across the board. He tallied 11 sacks, 17 tackles for loss, 21 quarterback hits and three forced fumbles.

The Titans went to the conference championship in Simmons’ rookie season and made the playoffs each of the following two years. The team has missed the playoffs in each of the last four seasons and is coming off of back-to-back three-win campaigns. The Titans also made a change at head coach, going from the offensive-minded Brian Callahan in 2024 to bringing in in former San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh this offseason,Simmons had two years remaining on a four years extension he signed with the Titans in 2023. The new deal ensures that Simmons will be in Tennessee for the duration of his prime.
