Justin Simmons ranked No. 17 on PFF’s Top 101 players list

Broncos safety Justin Simmons is among the 20 best players in the NFL, according to Pro Football Focus.

Pro Football Focus, a website that tracks advanced NFL stats and grades players on a 0-to-100 scale, has been rolling out their Top 101 players list from the 2019 NFL season. Broncos safety Justin Simmons is ranked No. 17 on the list.

“He was particularly impactful in coverage, where he had four interceptions and 11 pass breakups, the most combined forced incompletions of any safety this season,” PFF’s Sam Monson wrote.

Simmons is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent in March and Denver hopes to re-sign him to a multi-year contract.

Simmons is the third and final Broncos player on the list, joining inside linebacker Alexander Johnson (No. 46) and wide receiver Courtland Sutton (No. 69). Last year, outside linebacker Von Miller (No. 11) and cornerback Chris Harris (No. 23) were Denver’s only players on PFF’s Top 50 list. Miller and Harris did not make the Top 101 list this year.

Alexander Johnson ranked No. 46 on PFF’s Top 101 players list

Broncos inside linebacker Alexander Johnson has been named one of the Top 101 players in the NFL by Pro Football Focus.

Pro Football Focus, a website that tracks advanced NFL stats and grades players on a 0-to-100 scale, has been rolling out their Top 101 players list from the 2019 NFL season. Broncos inside linebacker Alexander Johnson is ranked No. 46 on the list.

“He didn’t start until Week 5, but from that point onward, his grade ranked among the All-Pro players at his position, and he was the best-graded linebacker of them all against the run,” PFF’s Sam Monson wrote.

Johnson (6-2, 255 pounds) totaled 93 tackles, 1.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and one interception in 15 games last season (12 starts). He is poised to remain a starter going into the 2020 season.

Alexander is the second Broncos player to make the list, joining wide receiver Courtland Sutton (No. 69). Last year, outside linebacker Von Miller (No. 11) and cornerback Chris Harris (No. 23) were Denver’s only players on PFF’s Top 50 list. Miller and Harris did not make the Top 101 list this year.
