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.

Paris and Ersery move like big strong LTs.....Simmons moves like a DE in a 3-4 Scheme. Neither is better than the other, just different. Even though at his pro day Simmons did 33 bench reps! That would have tied for most reps at combine this year. So Strong and Fast?
