Former Mississippi State defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons is projected by some as a top-10 pick in the 2019 . He'll have to wait until late March to prove it.
Simmons, who's been barred from the NFL , will participate in the Bulldogs' pro day on March 27, the school told NFL Network's Andrew Groover on Tuesday.
The 21-year-old Mississippi State product was informed in January he cannot attend the combine because he doesn't meet the criteria under the NFL's policy about past issues involving violence, Ā last week. This year's annual pre-draft showcase in Indianapolis begins Feb. 26.
Simmons (6-4, 301) is No. 5 in a list of by NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah. He earned All-SEC first-team honors the past two seasons and declared for the draft after three years in Starksville.
