Link please? I’d like to read that article. My interest in Simmons has declined with some of the information I’ve learned from CP. Crow mentioned that Paris Johnson was a superior prospect to Simmons. And he’s right. Paris is a mountain. Paris is 6’6” & 315 lbs with 36” arms and can move. He was also strong coming out. Hard to get by Paris in college.

With my uneducated eye, Simmons athleticism looks different to me. He just moves more like a skill player. Again, I get it. His medical may make him a 2nd rounder but his movement skill is just different. Take a look. One the 2nd video at about 37 seconds in the video, you see Simmons release for a screen. Paris can’t move like that. But Paris is a bigger LT that’s hard to get around. Simmons movement and athleticism is just different and rare. The dbs and LBs have a hard time getting away from him on those screen plays. That’s just not normal.

This is because a left tackle uses their right leg for a more stable and powerful stance, and the injury occurred on his left knee. While a patellar tendon tear is still a serious injury with a longer recovery time than an ACL tear, Simmons' unaffected right leg could aid his rehabilitation and return to full strength.” According to Sports Injury Central.
This makes sense to me. Now it might mean RT is not an option and limits him to LT only?
