Season so far
Elijah Simmons has played at a strong level early in the 2026 season, earning an 83.7 overall grade across nine snaps in his lone appearance. Because he has only suited up for one contest, it is still very early to establish a definitive trend for his campaign. His performance was heavily driven by stellar run defense, where an 81.9 grade was anchored by splitting a double team for a tackle for loss and adding another one-yard stop. Simmons also contributed on pass downs by using a rip move to draw a third-down holding penalty. Having finished his only game with zero negative reps, his early showing was undeniably impressive despite the limited sample.
