Titans' Jeffery Simmons ranked 83rd on NFL's top 100 list
Summary

Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons has been ranked 83rd in the NFL's Top 100 Players of 2026 list. This ranking has drawn criticism from fans who view it as a slight against one of the league's top defensive players. Simmons led all defensive tackles last season with 11 sacks and recorded a career-high 21 quarterback hits. Despite these achievements, the ranking reflects a tendency to undervalue interior defensive linemen. Simmons' placement could serve as motivation for him heading into the 2026 season as he aims to prove his worth and help strengthen the Titans' defense.
