Much like everybody else, a rare burst of winter weather that put a vast majority of southern states on pause two weeks ago took Jeffery Simmons by surprise.
Snowy and icy storms created much work remained for first responders, electric workers and others. In Noxubee County, Mississippi, where the Tennessee Titans defensive tackle starred in high school, those essential employees worked long days to restore services to the communities impacted.
Simmons, who has been doing offseason training in Dallas, Texas, did not hesitate to return to an area that still means so much to him. Last Friday at the Noxubee County Civic Center in Macon, Simmons provided meals and signed T-shirts to law enforcement and electric workers.
