Career Totals
#2 of 145 at DT in Sacks (2026)
Jeffery Simmons is rated 97 (Legend): production, role and draft slot rank 3rd of 225 qualifying defensive linemen (outperforms 99% of them). 2026 games count fully, 2025 games half. Same 40-99 scale as college ratings; compare within the NFL.
Production per game depends partly on the offense or scheme around a player, so a player on a weak team can rate lower. Not a betting line. How we rank
