Tennessee Titans defensive powerhouse Jeffery Simmons is entering the 2025 NFL season with a new look, a lighter frame, and a laser-sharp focus on domination. The Pro Bowl defensive lineman revealed during a recent press conference that he has shed 20 pounds this offseason in an effort to improve speed, agility, and overall performance—especially when it comes to getting after the quarterback.
“I feel faster, leaner, and more explosive than I’ve ever felt in my career,” Simmons said, radiating confidence. “This isn’t just about looking good—it’s about producing on a higher level and being more disruptive in the backfield.”
The weight loss is a calculated move for Simmons, who still maintains his signature strength but has clearly placed a greater emphasis on mobility. Standing at 6’4″, Simmons now hovers around 290 pounds, a cut from his usual 310-pound playing weight. That shift could mean trouble for opposing offensive lines. Already known for his ability to collapse pockets and pressure quarterbacks, Simmons is now aiming to increase his sack numbers and overall impact in 2025.
Last season, he tallied 8.5 sacks, despite missing a few games due to minor injuries. With a full offseason of conditioning and an upgraded physique, Simmons has made it clear: double-digit sacks are the goal.
Titans head coach Brian Callahan praised Simmons’ commitment, saying, “Jeffery has always been a leader on and off the field, but what he’s done this offseason shows a whole new level of dedication. He’s ready to take the next step—and we’re excited to see what that looks like.”
The Titans are in a transition phase, building a new identity around younger talent and fresh leadership. Simmons, entering his sixth season, is not only a foundational piece on defense but also a vocal leader in the locker room. His transformation sets the tone for a team eager to bounce back and make noise in the AFC.
As the 2025 season approaches, one thing is clear: a lighter, faster, and hungrier Jeffery Simmons could be a nightmare for offenses across the league—and a major boost for the Titans’ playoff hopes.
