Chiefs fans are buzzing over first-round pick's physical transformation

Chiefs fans are buzzing over Josh Simmons, the 32nd pick of the 2025 NFL draft, and the offseason transformation that has sparked optimism for his future as a left tackle. In eight games as a rookie, Simmons allowed only two sacks, 18 pressures, and 14 hurries over 525 offensive snaps, yet he missed nine games due to personal reasons, leaving questions about his ceiling. Now 23, the 6-foot-5 tackle appears leaner and stronger in offseason photos, fueling hope that Year 2 could bring a notable improvement and possibly place him among the Chiefs’ most impactful linemen.
