The Cardinals could not figure out how to best use Isaiah Simmons after three-plus years. So now the Giants will try after shipping a seventh-round pick out west for the embattled defender, who was the No. 8 pick in the 2020 NFL draft.
Simmons, a Clemson product, was hailed as a “unicorn” when he entered the league due to his immense physical talents. But he struggled to gain much traction at linebacker and his shift to safety this preseason had not gone particularly well.
At that point why even run across the field if you’re not going to do anything to stop the TD?
