Chiefs Fans Are Buzzing Over First-Round Pick's Physical Transformation

The Kansas City Chiefs had high hopes for left tackle Josh Simmons when they selected him with the 32nd pick of the 2025 NFL draft.

Simmons looked impressive in the half-season he played. In eight games, Simmons allowed just two sacks, 18 pressures, and 14 hurries while playing 525 offensive snaps.

The problem was Simmons left Chiefs fans wanting more given he missed nine games in the middle of the year due to mysterious personal reasons.

But things seem to be looking up for Simmons this offseason. The 23-year-old left tackle has spent a lot of time in the gym, and a photo of him with a more bulked up physique made its way to social media.

The 6-foot-5 Simmons looks noticeably slimmer than the 310 pounds he played at last year.

"Josh Simmons is looking JACKED this offseason 💪🏾🏋🏾 There is no doubt in my mind that he could be the 2nd best player on the Chiefs roster this season 😤," one user pointed out on X.

Dozens more Chiefs fans were quick to celebrate the fact that Simmons spent the offseason bulking up and is seemingly taking Year 2 with the Chiefs more seriously than his rookie year.

"Bro looks like AI. Could be one of the greats let's see," one fan said.

"Built like edge (rusher) playing left tackle is wild," another fan replied.

"300 (pounds) with less than 20% body fat is gunna be wild," a third fan celebrated.

"Best shape of his life SZN 🙌🙌," exclaimed one user.

"Looking like Myles Garrett," another user pointed out.

"This is a [expletive] left tackle… one of the wildest specimens I've seen," remarked another user.

"I thought that was an edge rusher he might have gotten too in shape," one fan wrote.

"OMG 😂😂I looked at this photo and said who's that!! ALL PRO SEASON SOON!!!!!!!!!!" another fan celebrated.

"No way that this is my LT 😭😭," another user said.
