This is the first time since 2008 that the Titans have had two members named first-team All-Pro. Simmons, who has always been a dominant force on the defensive line, took his game to another level this year. He lost a bunch of weight in the offseason and was much quicker this season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Simmons finished the season with a career high 11 sacks in just 15 games. The Titans have a lot to do this offseason, but somewhere near the top of the list should be signing Simmons to a contract extension. He also took a big step forward as a leader this season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Dike led the league with 2,379 all-purpose yards this season, which was the most in NFL history for a rookie. He also returned two punts for touchdowns. Mike Borgonzi found a steal when he selected Dike in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 3-14 Tennessee Titans have two representatives on the AP All-Pro team, Jeffery Simmons and Chimere Dike.
