EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) _ Chris Simms grew up watching the NFL draft as the son of a quarterback and Super Bowl MVP.
There was always a weekend in the latter part of April when Simms would park himself in front of the television and try to figure out who the New York Giants would draft to play with his father, and what players would end up where.
That was fun.
But now he sweats out his future and deals with the hype of being Phil Simms' kid on the eve of the draft.
``It's been exciting, but at the same time, it's been an anxious time waiting for Saturday to get here,'' Simms said. ``The experience so far has been great and the idea that I got to meet a lot of the coaches that I watched on TV and admired has been great.''
