If this Denver Bronco defense didn’t have Von Miller, they would be led by Justin Simmons. Safeties don’t get all the cred in today’s NFL fan landscape, but when you want to talk about what separates a good defense from a great defense, I can almost always point to safety play as one of the top reasons a defense is successful in today’s NFL game.
We’ve written a ton about Simmons (and rightly so) here at milehighreport.com. In case you are new or have missed out, I dug up a couple of gems from the past to give more info on Simmons:
#31 Justin Simmons

What makes any safety good is his ability to read and react.
