|
| Derek is definitely not a 'combine' player. He is a football player. Not blessed with freakish athleticism, Simmons does it with a blue-collar ethic and drive. Very consistent player who can be counted on to go one-hundred percent for the whole game. |
| Biography: |
Recently ran a 4.8 in the 40. In 2004 mostly at defensive end, Simmons racked up 72 tackles (49 solo) with 12 of them going for
sacks. Had two fumble recoveries, two INTs and a boatload of batted
down passes. Named named All-Monticello Empire League lineman of
the year, second team selection of The Sacramento Bee's All-Metro team. Also the league MVP of his basketball team in 2005.
Armijo coach Mike Singer: He has a lot of ways that he can improve, college-wise, but he's just got
such great feet...He's working towards getting somewhere -- he's not sitting around resting
on his laurels."
