Former Georgia WR Tyler Simmons’ new number on Houston Texans

Former Georgia wide receiver Tyler Simmons did not get picked in the 2020 NFL Draft, but shortly signed an undrafted free agent deal with the Houston Texans.

At Georgia, Simmons wore #87.

The Texans announced on Twitter that Simmons will be wearing #86 in Houston.

Speed kills, and Simmons has plenty of it.

A former three-star recruit out of McEachern High School in Powder Springs, Georgia, Simmons never really got much of an opportunity to shine in the Bulldogs’ offense.

Georgia did get creative with him, though, as he scored two career touchdowns on the ground via jet sweeps.

In all, Simmons recorded 658 total yards and five touchdowns as a Bulldog.

Oh, and he was onside.
