Simmons would post monster IDP numbers in a number of other defenses, but the Vic Fangio version tends to stop ballcarriers short of the secondary, and Simmons is otherwise good enough in coverage that he deters targets more than he invites them. Those two factors work against Simmons' tackle upside, but it's offset somewhat by the fact that he almost never leaves the field (2,158 defensive snaps in the last two years) and poses a standout threat in coverage. Denver should have more leads on offense and better pressure on defense, which could put Simmons in more ballhawking situations. He's reliably produced about four interceptions per 1,080 defensive snaps through four years, and it wouldn't be surprising if one or two of his 15 passes defended from last year would have instead been interceptions in this upcoming defense, Denver's second under Fangio.
