“I just like to be physical,” Freiermuth said in the release. “If that is blocking the whole game, pass protection the whole game or even running routes and catching the football. I like to do everything physical. I don’t shy away from contact at all. I am not going to be a guy who is going to hurdle someone or juke someone. I am going to be a guy who runs through someone. I am going to try and bring the juice that way and dominate the guy through my physicality.”

After originally retiring from football to pursue a career in the business world, Simmons made a new
