Jeffery Simmons, the Titans’ defensive tackle, is eagerly anticipating the start of the regular season. With more than four months to go until Week One, he is looking forward to facing the Bears in Chicago where rookie quarterback Caleb Williams is expected to make his NFL debut.
During an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show, Simmons discussed his excitement about facing Williams and the challenge of playing against a highly-touted rookie. He sees Williams as a talented player but recognizes that the NFL is a different league, and he is eager to compete against him in their first game.
Simmons is embracing the underdog role and sees this game as an opportunity to prove people wrong. He wants to showcase his skills on September 8 and demonstrate what it takes to be a pro football player. Similar to how WNBA players have welcomed Caitlin Clark with a competitive mindset, Simmons hopes to inspire young athletes like Williams by showing them that anything is possible with hard work and dedication.
As one of the most anticipated games of the season, this matchup between two talented young players will surely not disappoint. With both players eager to prove their worth, it will be interesting to see who comes out on top when they face off on September 8th in Chicago.
