Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons is one of the NFL’s best interior defenders, so he knows a thing or two about quality play at the quarterback position.
The Titans are 7-4 and heading to Philadelphia looking to contain Eagles star quarterback Jalen Hurts.
On Wednesday during the players meeting with the media, Simmons gave some insight into what makes Hurts so effective as a rusher.

Simmons talked about Hurts being elusive and being able to manipulate the middle of an opponent’s defense once the pocket starts to break down.
Hurts has passed for 2,560 yards and 17 touchdowns this season, while also rushing for 597 yards and eight touchdowns.
