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.
