The Tennessee Titans had a tough season, but two of their players consistently remained at the top of the league in their respective positions.
Jeffery Simmons and Chimere Dike were a huge part of each of the Titans’ wins, and even in the losses, they performed at a high level. The NFL recognized that on Saturday, when it was announced that both players were named to the 2025 All-Pro First-Team.
Simmons is consistently plowing through offensive lines to get to the opposing quarterbacks. He had 11 sacks this season and three pass deflections, not to mention the touchdown he scored on offense. He is consistently double-teamed and still makes a huge impact every time he’s on the field. He earned his 4th Pro Bowl selection this year, was the AFC Defensive Player of the Month, and now he’s earned his first-ever first-team All-Pro selection.
Dike had a special kind of rookie season. He led the entire league in all-purpose yards and set a new record for a rookie in the process. He’s headed to the Pro Bowl as a rookie, and now he’s earned his first-team All-Pro honors as a rookie. Dike has a bright future in the NFL.
Both of these players are incredibly deserving of this honor, and it’s positive for the Titans that both of them will return in 2026.
