NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons says he thanked controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk for trusting him back in 2019 once he and the Tennessee Titans agreed to a massive contract extension. The Titans took plenty of heat for drafting him at No. 19 overall because of an old arrest and video showing Simmons punching a woman.
