Overall
A super athletic linebacker, Simmons is a converted safety still learning the nuances of the position. His ability to transition in and out of breaks is a plus that helps him overcome his inexperience. Has the ability to cover backs and tight ends and can slide down into the slot. Currently being viewed as a 1st round pick.
