Why the NY Giants would regret passing on Isaiah Simmons

Calling Simmons an elite athlete is an understatement. At 6 feet 4 inches, Simmons’ freakish athleticism allows him to make plays all over the football field. The 2019 Butkus Award winner finished his 2019 season at Clemson with 104 tackles, 16.5 tackles for loss, eight sacks, eight passes defended, and three interceptions — those type of numbers should leave NY Giants fans drooling.

In high school Clemson LB Isaiah Simmons ran the 200-meter dash in 22.07 seconds.

To put that in perspective, Odell Beckham ran it in 22.31 seconds at the same age.

He’s bulked up since, but Simmons has a legit shot to run a sub 4.
