Tommy Simms will look to break out in the NFL this season. The big hurdle for this young defensive back to overcome will be the fact that he did not play organised football. He was a former standout basketball and soccer player at UCLA, but never once stepped on to a football field.

A Bruin Becomes A Buc As Tampa Drafts Simms
After score a decent 70% on the IQ test it was off to the NFL Draft for young Tommy who was eager to learn if he had impressed the scouts enough to be selected on draft day.
Apparently he had impressed Tampa Bay the most who would select him with the 7th pick of the third round(#71 Overal).
"I'm excited" Simms told reporters, "I'm glad these guys gave me a chance and I'll do my best out there".
The Bucs are saying the will be using Simms both in the Free and Strong safety positions and perhaps even at wide receiver if nessicary. -

Tommy Simms was able to pick up his first career interception during his first organised football game tonight as his Bucs lost to the Tennessee Titans 37-10.
"I was just so excited to be out there," Simms said, "Once I got into the flow of the game, the nerves kind of died down. Once I got that interception though, the whole sideline was jumping up and down and slapping me high fives and stuff it was pretty cool."
Tampa will look to improve their record to 1-1 in the preseason when the take on the Jacksonville Jaguars next Saturday.Comment
