The Tennessee Titans are turning to their defensive cornerstone for a pivotal role in the 2026 NFL Draft. Star defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, fresh off an All-Pro season, has been tapped to announce the team's Day 2 selections live from the stage in Pittsburgh.

This honor places Simmons among an elite group of four active players chosen to present picks during the draft festivities. Barring any trades, he will personally reveal the Titans' future teammates when he announces the selections at No. 35 overall in the second round and No. 66 in the third round.

The moment carries a special symmetry for Simmons, who was himself a first-round pick for Tennessee back in 2019. Interestingly, he stands out among the active player presenters as the only one not from Pittsburgh or a former Pitt Panther, adding a unique Titans flavor to the event.

He'll be in legendary company on stage, joining Hall of Famers like Tony Dorsett, Calvin Johnson, and Jerome Bettis, alongside prominent personalities such as ESPN's Pat McAfee. It's a testament to Simmons' stature as a leader and face of the franchise.

For Titans fans, this is a powerful signal of the team's confidence in their defensive leader. Tune in on April 24 at 6 p.m. CT to see Big Jeff welcome the next generation of Titans talent to Nashville.
