The bulk of Andy Simms career as an NFL agent has been as the operator of his own agency.
The Hawken High School graduate and Solon resident is back to doing just that, now that he and four of his colleagues have parted ways with Young Money APAA Sports and formed 1 of 1 Agency.
Young Money, owned by renowned rapper Lil Wayne, acquired a majority stake in PlayersRep Sports Management in 2017.

Analysis: The Cardinals already addressed this position group in free agency, and in a monster way, by signing Watt. He will headline the group, and the team is hoping for a bounceback from Jordan Phillips, who was plagued by injuries in 2020. Both are capable of getting consistent interior pressure, which is something the Cardinals have lacked since the departure of Calais Campbell.
Zach Allen, Leki Fotu and Rashard Lawrence are also expected to have roles, so the Cardinals are in pretty good shape on the line.
