Impact The eighth overall pick in the 2020 draft, Simmons arrived in Arizona and found himself in a crowded LB corps.

Along the way, his versatility allowed him to see time at inside linebacker, outside linebacker, safety and slot cornerback en route to 33.9 percent of the snaps on defense. Depending on how the Cardinals proceed in the offseason, Simmons is a good bet to be a starter in 2021.
