Tyreek Hill is hoping right now that the media and league will be as forgiving with him, also...
Simmons' tape is just as damning as the footage and story surrounding Joe... but the NFL and media covering the draft is not going to go into the Simmons stuff very far because they are trying to control some of this domestic violence stuff to protect their brand and advertising partners. Multi billion dollar companies like the NFL are going to do as much as possible to get the attention away from the things that make their customers "uncomfortable."
That's why guys like Hill, Hunt, Rice... are given extended vacations until the smoke stops.
Mixon was getting more attention pre-draft than Simmons, because he was on the radar much more coming into the pre-draft process. I honestly never had heard of Simmons until he was selected and had to do some research to understand what he had done.
