How he fits: Broncos third-round safety Justin Simmons
Simmons could fill the role vacated by free-agent departure David Bruton Jr. right away.
Justin Simmons will allow Defensive Coordinator Wade Phillips to use the same sub-package looks that worked so well last year in helping the Broncos have the league's top-ranked defense.ENGLEWOOD, Colo. --
A tall (6-foot-2) safety with a long stride and the ability to cover a lot of ground in a hurry, Simmons has the skill set to fill the role handled by David Bruton Jr. last year -- as a deep safety next to veteran Darian Stewart that allowed T.J. Ward to line up inside the box in a linebacker-type role.
