ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The football road traveled by Justin Simmons has been a few parts strange and a few parts unexpected. But he hopes in his eighth year as a Denver Broncos safety that he'll get to a few places he still wants to go.
“It is a little surreal," Simmons said.
A third-round pick in the 2016 draft after Denver's Super Bowl 50 win, Simmons is the only player left on the roster from that class -- and also the longest-tenured Bronco.
As he moves through an offseason with his fifth different head coach in Sean Payton, Simmons is balancing for the team to get back into the playoff conversation with the reality he has yet to appear in a postseason game.
