Justin Simmons, Safety
Despite being the 3rd pick of this crop, Justin Simmons has clearly established himself as the gem of the draft class.
Honestly, I don’t think I need to say much when it comes to this player. Between his stellar play, reliability and excellent off-field work, Simmons is the ideal guy to keep on your team.
Guys like him should never leave your team and I’m glad that the Broncos are committed to getting a long term deal with him done. We should be thrilled that Simmons is going to be a Bronco in 2020 and expect to see him don Orange and Blue for many years to come.
