Outside of Denver, Simmons barely gets any attention. That will change if he continues to play like he has, though. Simmons led all safeties during the 2019 season with 16 pass breakups and opposing quarterbacks only completed 52.8% of their pass attempts when targeting him. For his efforts, Pro Football Focus gave Simmons a 90.8 overall rating for the year. That’s higher than anyone else on this list.
