Josh Simmons is an athletic, fluid-moving tackle with good foot quickness, balance, and hand activity. He offers positional versatility, having started games at both left and right tackle, but will need refinement to handle NFL edge rushers consistently. His pass protection ability stands out, as he operates with a natural feel for pocket depth and excellent lateral mobility to protect the edge. While Simmons can mirror speed rushers effectively, he still struggles against power, often catching defenders instead of delivering a firm punch. His season-ending knee injury raises concerns regarding durability, and his inconsistent recognition of twists and stunts needs improvement. He projects best as a zone-scheme left tackle or a right tackle in a movement-based offense, but he may require a redshirt rookie year to fully recover and refine his play strength.
