Wayne Simmons

[ND72]

Wayne Simmons was the first linebacker i ever really loved. He was a personal favorite of mine from the day he was drafted. The intensity he brought was obvious every play he was on the field. I was probably as sad, well not really as sad as Reggie, but the day i found out Wayne had died, was a person hit on me, because of the respect i had for him while in green bay. I know he had problems, heck we all do, but what was important for his job, on sundays, he performed as well as i could hope.

Kind of weird that my 2 all time favorite LB's as of right now, Derrick Thomas and Wayne Simmons, both died way too young.

My two favorite LB's are LT and Ray Lewis. Since I'm to young to have seen 676 play, my favorite LB that wore the green and gold is Brian Noble and George Koonce is a close second.

I gotta go with Brian Noble and MadDog Douglass.

I hate to admit that I didn't know that he died. How tragic.

Great story. Thanks for posting.
