It's a happy Sunday for former Ohio State pass-rushers in the NFL.
Only a couple hours removed from Sam Hubbard receiving a handsome extension from the Cincinnati Bengals, John Simon has signed with the Tennessee Titans.

The Titans will be the fifth NFL team that Simon has landed with since going 129th overall in the fourth round to the Baltimore Ravens in the 2013 NFL draft. It's a reunion for Simon with Titans head coach Mike Vrabel, who was previously the defensive line coach at Ohio State for the end of Simon's career—which included a Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year award.
Simon was most recently with the New England Patriots, who he played for from 2018-20. Across eight NFL seasons, Simon has recorded 244 career tackles, 21 sacks, five turnovers, and eight pass deflections.
He also recorded a pick-six on Monday Night Football in 2017, while with the Indianapolis Colts, after intercepting Marcus Mariota.
