If you’ve ever wanted to see a really big human being take part in a fishing competition, you’re in luck because Tennessee Titans defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons is set to do just that.
Simmons is one of several NFL players taking part in the Sport Fishing Championship’s “The Catch”, which pairs players with professional anglers. Current free-agent running back Dalvin Cook took home the title with his duo in 2023 and will look to defend his crown in 2024.
