Big Jeff Simmons is coming to Chicago 😤 #nfl #viral #bears #hqsocial

Jeffery Simmons starts with his father, adds his brother, then counts himself. Asked what most people might not know about him, the defensive tackle offers a family introduction that requires unusually little memorization.

"I have a dad named Jeffery. I have a brother named Jeffery. I'm a Jeffery."

NFL on CBS has put the interview clip under a Chicago Bears welcome, alongside separate Shorts announcing the Titans' trade of Simmons and discussing the move. But this clip leaves football strategy alone. The follow-up question is how everyone fits into the family naming order.

Simmons explains that he's the older brother and a Junior. Then he wonders aloud whether his younger brother has a title after his name, setting both him and the interviewer laughing.

The tradition continues with his son, whom Simmons says he also named Jeffery because he values legacy. There is one distinction: he chose a different middle name, explaining that he didn't want his son to be "the Third."

The Short drew roughly 53,000 views in eight hours, already well beyond the channel's usual full-day Shorts audience. Its separate trade announcement and trade discussion also made unusually fast starts. Among the welcomes in the comments, one Packers supporter finds a consolation in Simmons joining Chicago: getting to watch him play twice a year.
