Simmons started in all 14 games in 2015 for the Trojans. Simmons also made second team All-Pac-12 last year. Simmons had ten and a half tackles for loss including 4 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, and 57 total tackles. According to many scouts Simmons lacked the ideal body type and balance to be an NFL defensive lineman. Simmons may struggle to find a spot on the final 53-man roster in the NFL.

Here is his scouting report from NFL.com:

"BOTTOM LINE Rotational defensive end best ­suited to play the run rather than rush the passer. Simmons has the size and potentially strength to play end in a 3­-4, but his arm length is less than what defensive coordinators look for at that position. Simmons probably doesn’t have the base or thickness to play inside on a full-time basis as a pro, so power end in a 4­-3 or 3-­4 five ­technique is his best shot."
