Titans' Jeffery Simmons can't wait to trash-talk Caleb Williams' 'painted nails' in Week 1

NFL owners are discussing a salary cap for QBs, and Colin Cowherd discusses what that means for teams who pay their franchise QBs a lot of money and don’t see playoff success.

Pro Bowl defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons already knows what kind of trash talk he’ll be hurling Caleb Williams’ way when the Tennessee Titans square off against the Chicago Bears Week 1. 

Williams, the No. 1 overall pick by the Bears in April, has received tons of hype heading into his rookie campaign. More is sure to come with the Bears being the subject of HBO’s "Hard Knocks" during training camp. 

But the world has already seen Williams’ confidence during his time at USC and the NFL Scouting Combine.

Simmons will be leaning on Williams’ personal style on and off the field. 

"'Painted nails.' I can't wait to say that to him," Simmons told Rich Eisen on "The Rich Eisen Show." "Most definitely. Oh, it's gonna be one of them games. I mean, he probably gets smack-talked by his teammates right now, but especially a game like that. ... It's gonna be the first game of the season. They've got us coming to Chicago. All the hype's gonna be around them, of course. I think when special, even prime-time games … everybody just counts Tennessee out, which we all know. 

"A game like Chicago, I'm sure [they're] thinking we 'bout to get beat bad. That also makes me even talk more smack and boosts me up a little more, get into a different mode as well. I'll be in a different mode that game."
