Auburn’s Power DT Who Wins with Size, Leverage, and Backfield Disruption
Pat Sims was a sturdy, interior defensive tackle at Auburn who flashed real disruption in 2007, when he posted 37 tackles, 4 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles after already playing every game in the prior season. His profile is built on **mass, leverage, and interior toughness**, making him the kind of lineman who can clog gaps, collapse pockets, and punish run games rather than chase headlines. For a team needing a reliable trench presence with proven SEC-level production, Sims offers a hard-nosed, high-effort fit with NFL-caliber upside.
