Jeffery Simmons Cracks Analyst's Top-100 List

Jeffery Simmons, defensive tackle for the Tennessee Titans, has cracked CBS analyst Pete Prisco’s NFL Top-100 list, landing at No. 20. The ranking places him 58 spots above where Prisco had Simmons at No. 78 in 2025, with Prisco citing that Simmons’ production flew under the radar during a weaker Titans season. In Prisco’s assessment, Simmons was a dominant interior rusher and tough versus the run, and he pointed to the “mega deal” signed this month as part of Simmons’ recognition. The Titans re-signed Simmons to a three-year extension worth $100 million, keeping him in Nashville until 2030. Simmons and the team will begin the regular season in Nashville against the New York Jets on Sept. 13, with kickoff set for noon CT.
