As the regular season approaches, Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons is eager to face off against the Chicago Bears in Week One. Despite missing the final weeks of the 2023 season, Simmons is excited to get back on the field and prove himself to doubters.
During an interview on The Rich Eisen Show, Simmons acknowledged the hype surrounding Caleb Williams and his NFL debut with the Bears. However, he was determined to focus on his own preparation and take on the challenge head-on. He understands that many people will count the Titans out in this game, but he sees it as an opportunity to prove them wrong.
Simmons has watched Williams play at USC and is aware of his talent. But he knows that facing tough competition is what makes the game exciting. He’s ready to put his competitive mindset to work and showcase his skills against Williams on September 8th.
Simmons believes that players should embrace new challenges and rise to meet them with determination and dedication. He welcomes Williams to the NFL as a new player who will face tough competition just like any other pro athlete in any sport. Whether it’s basketball or football, facing tough opponents is what makes athletes better overall.
