Jeffery Simmons Tipped for DPOTY Under New Titans Coach Robert Saleh

Tennessee Titans star Jeffery Simmons is being touted as a Defensive Player of the Year candidate under new head coach Robert Saleh, according to Dallas Cowboys DT Quinnen Williams. Simmons, a four-time Pro Bowler and two-time second-team All-Pro, recorded a career-high 11.0 sacks, three forced fumbles, and 67 combined tackles in 15 games last season. Williams, who played for Saleh previously, believes Saleh and defensive line coach Aaron Whitecotton will help Simmons flourish further, despite the Titans' defense ranking 28th in opponent points and 21st in opponent yards last season.
