Tony De'Angelo Simmons (born December 8, 1974) is a former American football player. He is currently head coach of Lausanne Owls, an American football team based out of Lausanne, Switzerland. He played in the National Football League for the New England Patriots, Cleveland Browns, Indianapolis Colts, Houston Texans and New York Giants. He has also played for the Edmonton Eskimos, BC Lions of the Canadian Football League and the Triangle Razorbacks in Denmark and the Békéscsaba Raptors in Hungary.
Simmons attended St. Rita High School on Chicago's south side. In 1993, he was named Chicago Sun-Times Prep Athlete of the Year for his participation in both football and track. As a senior, Simmons won the state championship in the 100- and 200-meter dash events with times of 10.5 seconds and 21.58 seconds, respectively. He shares a distinction with two other NFL players who also attended both St. Rita and the University of Wisconsin–Madison: former high school and college teammate Ahmad Merritt, and former Chicago Bear Dennis Lick. Simmons and Merritt played against each other and caught touchdown passes in World Bowl IX. In April 2011, Simmons was inducted into the St. Rita High School Hall of Fame.
