PLAYER ANALYSIS
He's a bit of an enigma as a former four-star recruit with an explosive athletic profile, but a disappointing lack of production relative to his potential. His ability to get to top speed in an instant makes him a threat after the catch and on go routes, but the route-running will need future development and some hip tightness may limit his overall wiggle. With below-average ball skills, Simmons is a better athlete than pass-catcher, but the tape shows value on gadget plays, as a punt returner and a gunner. The game-breaking speed and potential versatility give him a real chance of becoming a better pro than college player.
