The 2026 NFL Draft is almost here, and the Tennessee Titans are adding a dose of star power to their war room. While all eyes will be on their crucial fourth-overall selection next Thursday, Day 2 will feature a familiar face at the podium: defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons.

The NFL announced that Simmons will be in Pittsburgh to announce the Titans' second-round pick, joining a group of active players like James Conner and Joey Porter Jr. for the festivities. This is a notable honor for Simmons, who is the only player in that group without a direct tie to the host city of Pittsburgh, underscoring his status as a cornerstone of the Titans' franchise.

His selection for this role feels like a strong statement from the organization. Simmons isn't just a dominant force on the defensive line; he's the emotional heartbeat of the team. Having him announce the pick sends a clear message about his leadership and likely signals the Titans' commitment to keeping him as a central figure in their long-term plans.

The second round in Pittsburgh promises to be electric, with local legends like Hall of Famers Tony Dorsett and Jerome Bettis also on hand to welcome the next generation. The draft kicks off on April 23rd, and Titans fans now have an extra reason to tune in for Day 2, as one of their own stars helps shape the future of the team.
