Reid: Simmons Should Gain Weight Wisely

Chiefs coach Andy Reid advised left tackle Josh Simmons to gain weight properly, not with 'cheeseburger weight,' as the young lineman plans to bulk up for the upcoming season.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid discussed left tackle Josh Simmons' weight gain plans, advising the young lineman to bulk up properly rather than gaining "cheeseburger weight." Simmons currently weighs 285-290 pounds but aims to reach 300 pounds by training camp.

Reid emphasized Simmons' athleticism and strength, suggesting the 6-foot-5 tackle may not need to reach the 300-pound mark to be effective. "He's kind of a unique character because he's not a real big guy," Reid said, noting Simmons was able to function well at his current weight last season. game-sweetbonanza.com
