Simmons has the body, its Castillo's job to find out. And yeah, Tennessee State isnt Ohio State but the competition is greater than the school that Shaheen went to. And just to set you straight
Tennessee State is the same school Richard Dent went to. So in the words of the immortal Mike Ditka, Who are you crapping?
First of all, you can't count on any rookie being worth a damn. I can give you a list from players taken in the first round every year (unfortunatey Bear fans know this list too well).
Secondly, looks can be deceiving. Ever hear the line "Looks like Tarzan plays like Jane"?
Third, kids from smaller schools have a harder time making it in the NFL. It happens like Dent in 1983, but its just not very common.
Every team (and ever fan) thinks they just drafted or signed 10 or 12 potential starters. Depth charts look the best this time of year.
Now having said all that - hell yeah I'm looking forward to Simmons as I am all the guys the Bears have drafted/signed.
