Biography
PRO: LeShaun Sims was selected by the Titans in the fifth round of the 2016 NFL Draft. The six-foot, 203-pounder saw action in 42 games over his first three seasons and registered 72 tackles, two interceptions, three stops for loss, 11 passes defensed and 19 special teams tackles. Sims' presence adds more experience and athleticism to an already-competitive defensive back unit. With the reputation as a tough and physical corner and a willing tackler, he possesses the physical tools to match up with NFL receivers after a successful four-year career at Southern Utah.
CAREER HIGHLIGHTS:
• In 2018, Sims appeared in all 16 games for the first time in his career and registered two starts at cornerback.
• In 2017, Sims saw action in 13 games with five starts before being placed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury. His season totals included a career-high 33 tackles, one interception, five passes defensed, and a career-high seven special teams tackles.
• As a rookie in 2016, Sims played in 13 games with two starts at cornerback and registered 18 tackles, an interception, a stop for loss and six passes defensed.
• In 2015, Sims was a first-team All-Big Sky performer at Southern Utah, finishing the campaign with a pair of interceptions and 54 tackles. He helped the Thunderbirds win the conference title.
TITANS TIDBITS:
• He was commonly referred to as "Swis" in college because for his first college game the name on the back of his jersey was upside down. The nickname stuck.
• Prior to Sims, no prior student-athlete from Andre Agassi Prep in Las Vegas, Nev., had ever earned an athletic scholarship. When he was a high school freshman, the Stars played eight-man football in the public charter school's first year with a football team. They moved to 11-man football during his sophomore year, and by his senior season, the team won a league title.
• Sims is a movie buff who lists "Training Day" among his all-time favorites.
