the more I like him.
I will be honest, I didnt know alot about him, as i dont follow Seattle very close. I knew of him, but not much past the fact that he was a hawks LB. I am sure a couple of you out there dont know that much about him either, so i thought i would give you a quick run down.
I have been doing some research on this guy.. and seems he was a Clemson inside LB, weakside. he was a beast there.. 3rd all time in tackles.. but it seems like every guy in the nfl was a beast in college..
he was a first round draft pick in 1998, 15th overall. he is only 26. he played sparingly his first year. he was a MLB. second year, same thing, MLB 3rd on the team with 90 tackles. in 2000, he moved to OLB, and lead the team with 140+ tackles, 119 SOLO. in 2001 he lead the team in tackles again and was a stud racking up over 100 tackles.
i dont know what happened to him last year.. he played in the first game, then missed the middle of the season, coming back to play in the final 6 games.. anyone know what happened???
his performances were good after he came back from what ever injury he had.. he had 2 ints and a sack in the final 6 games.
apparently the guy has blazing speed? i read somewhere he runs in the 4.4-4.5 range. that is some serious sideline to sideline pursuit.
he also seems to care about kids and community, as he runs a couple programs, one called L.I.F.E. line (leaders in football and education), which seems to fit in with the type of guys that TD and Buffalo really embrace.
i like the guy.. word is seattle is thinking of tagging him? true or no?
lets start some talk about this guy.. seems to me that he has just as much potential as spikes, claiborne, peterson, or colvin. all 5 of them are athletic monsters.. all of them are just coming into their primes (ages between 25-27), and all of them are finishing up their rookie contracts.. but for some reason, i dont think simmons (at least here) gets the hype he may deserve compaired to those other names.. i bet if we did a pole on which of the five you would want here, spikes finishes first and simmons finishes last.
lets talk...
