Kenneth Sims

One of the most dominant linemen of the 80's, UT's Kenneth Sims was an absolute destroyer in the middle finishing his career with 29 sacks, 96 quarterback pressures and caused 15 fumbles. In his junior year, he made 131 tackles as a defensive tackle, including 100 solo stops. He had the quickness of a defensive end in the body of a tackle.

He was the first Longhorn to win the Lombardi Award in 1981 even though he was constantly double and triple teamed and suffered a leg injury. Kenneth also was a Unanimous All American in 1981 and a Consensus All American in 1980. Kenneth was the first pick overall in the 1982 draft played for the New England Patriots from 1982-89.Kenneth and fellow celebrity Adam Schreiber are business partners as well as friends.
