Chicago Bears: Jeffery Simmons on controversial decision to wear bright sleeves
For Chicago Bears fans at home, it’s easy to spot new defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons when he’s on the field.
The defensive tackle, who the Bears traded two first-round picks and a fourth-round pick to the Tennessee Titans for in Week 8, wears bright orange sleeves under his jersey.
Some fans in Chicago wonder if the sleeves give opposing offenses an advantage, knowing where he is at all times. (Not that it would be easy to hide the six-foot-four, 305-pound lineman.)
During an appearance on the Rich Eisen Show on Friday, Simmons explained why he wears the orange sleeves. He wears them so his daughter, Mulani, can spot him on the field.
Why Chicago Bears DT Jeffery Simmons wears sleeves
“I remember a home game, put my family in the suite,” Simmons said. “Sometimes they rather be in the stands, getting that environment. They love to just be in the stands, and especially my sister. She likes to be rowdy. She thinks everyone in the stadium could hear her.
“So it was one game that I decided to not wear the sleeves, and I think it was actually the blue sleeves I wore (with the Titans). And when I decided to wear them sleeves, it was like we couldn’t tell. We couldn’t see who exactly you are. Mulani couldn’t tell. She couldn’t point you out from in the suite. I’m like, well, I won’t be doing that again.”
The orange sleeves, noticeably brighter than the color he wore with the Titans, have not stopped Simmons from wrecking the Seattle Seahawks and Tampa Bay Buccaneers in his last two games. He’s made 10 tackles, two sacks, and two passes defended for Chicago in two games.
The Bears are on a bye this week before getting set to host the New Orleans Saints in Week 11. As Chicago gets colder, those sleeves will also provide some warmth for Simmons.
