I am your host Jacob McDonald and today Well, this is a pretty highly anticipated one if you've been here throughout the whole entire series You will have seen this guy's face many many times I mean if you're a fan of the Broncos, you've probably seen this guy's face many many times and so have I Because I have indeed been here for all 55 players thus far, but I'll tell you what there's always a reason There's always a reason for someone to be included so often in this series It's either one of two reasons and in this case we've got both So the first reason is because they are normally, you know, relatively good-looking I guess but also articulate with their words Most probably got an excellence in descriptive writing as a kid possibly even in speech making but either way They've got charisma. They bring something to the table The second reason guys is usually you will find them on the list at some point and that's what's happened today So here we have it Justin Simmons safety for the Broncos Look, I've seen his headshot many many times. I don't know how tall he is Don't know how fast he is But if he is a real athlete obviously is but we're gonna look up some stats, etc Look if I'm as impressed with his physical prowess his play on the field as I am with the way he talks Then we're in business. I'm gonna roll the intro guys and we'll crack into it right then here He is and look there's one hat in my cupboard. It's it's an underarmor hat It's not an NFL hat, but every single time I see Justin on screen. I want to put this hat on look All I'm gonna say is I don't mind the fit. I don't mind the fit at all Similar to this right if I'm totally off then let me know but I'm not gonna toot my own horn But if you didn't know any better we we could quite possibly be twins Or maybe maybe not anyways, let's get into the video All right, let me pull up this video Don't tell me this is gonna be when they show him a play off his own for the first time You know, I can't wait to see his reaction. I can't wait to see him break down his own play really Yeah, this play was crazy An interception in the snow And he's not heard that before He's not heard what Patrick Mahomes has actually said Mike whilst miked up about that pic That's just happened and I tell you what wouldn't that fill you with a sense of just pride and and happiness and you know To hear literally the number one player in the league say that about you number three one Came out of nowhere picked me off man. What a play it And what a moment for this guy That's crazy That is so cool for Justin Simmons the path to high praise began with meticulous preparation Oh, yeah, they played the 49ers at home and he did the same exact movement So he was backed out started. This is safety or a linebacker backing up It was pressured and started moving to the defense is right and then speed turned out left Through a backpile on it was like a wild play. It was like one of the top plays of the year And then as soon as I saw that movement I had a good idea of where I thought the ball was gonna go I'm just like all right forget my assignment. Let me find out who's over here and I saw Tyree kill and just started Trying to catch up. Thank goodness the field was shortened, you know, it's easier to catch up, but Just looked for a guy and I gotta say I'm not surprised that he's done his homework I'm not surprised that he's he studied the the offense and come up with a play like that from what I've seen so far It's just a type guy is trying to make a play How the hell's a play man? This year preparation and praise helped land Simmons on his first top 100 list Reminds me of Minca Fitzpatrick mixed with Mike Evans One of the best AD if not the best AD in league Justin Simmons with a big big shot there That's safety in the league for sure. Negative special the way he reads the ball Good break of the ball by Justin Simmons best safety in the league for sure running back breaks the line of scrimmage And you know, he makes it open field tackle. He's just so I guess the I guess you've got guys like Jalen Ramsey in the cornerback position But as far as safety's the only one that really comes to mind Well, there's two Tyron Matthew and Jamal Adams and look if I had time I could probably rattle off a few more But Justin Simmons could well be one of those names that just sticks Onto Not a lot of those DB's can catch man, but he's got he's got some hands. I'll give him that Justin Simmons with the interception from his free safety spot He's like their guy, you know, so he's anytime like get some big moment. They want him in that position You know Fitzpatrick comes in This is like crunch time He's gonna take a shot here, there's you know seconds left on the clock got to make a play Intercepted by Justin Simmons in the end zone The last moment of the game had to make a play and that's the play that he comes up with a clean pick You can't get more clean than that Well, they had to throw it they back themselves into a corner they had to give it a go just didn't work out Just remembering pre-snap trying to give him a look that may be sold a false reality Showing like we were doubling the X and maybe playing some type of too high shell look Which is inviting to the middle of the open field So I'm assuming X is you know X Right as in Madden Square circle triangle R1 Etc. Okay, so you're trying to double X you're trying to look as if you're doubling X But then also Possibly come across here to take One of these wide receivers if they cross in my eyes. He's playing a free safety role You know, it's not gonna take long for him to kind of like look me off and then go directly to Parker I Gotta make sure I make my way over there once the ball is snapped Didn't even look twice at the X receiver because my body presence was already over there and just tell you what some of These camera angles some of this animation that they're doing is pretty damn awesome. I'm enjoying it Dashed as quickly as I could to the middle of the field Simmons made a great break of the ball and a nice catch good hands by Justin Simmons Like I thought he was gonna go like this is gonna go right through his hands. I was hoping That should seal it for the Denver Broncos Would you say pay him Areas again sideshow Rob Hopefully he's on the list somewhere, but if not, I'm enjoying his presence nonetheless before we continue I do want to look up Justin Simmons as stats Because we saw a couple of good interceptions there. I'm gonna say at least four for the year He's 27 6 foot 2 92 kilograms went to Boston College got picked up in the third round of the 2016 draft To the Broncos and he's been there ever since he made his first Pro Bowl last year He runs a 4 6 1 40 yard dash a 3 8 5 20 yard shuttle and a 6 5 8 3 cone drill and I'm gonna say 6 5 8 would have to be the fastest we've seen so far and actually as we looked in the next category There are no surprises that he's taken all these pics He jumps 40 inches 10 foot 6 on the broad jump 16 reps on the bench relatively Standard arm length and hand size, but the one score. I was looking for in particular was the wonder lick But it's not there on May 13th 2016 the Broncos signed him to a four-year 3.06 million dollar contract four years later on March 13th 2020 He signed a one-year tender worth 11.4 million. All right So the 2019 season he played every single defensive snap for a second consecutive season and was elected as a second team all-pro The local media also voted him as the winner of the Derrant Williams good guy of the year award and As a nominee for the Walter Payton man of the year award, so he's not only you know balling out on the field He's doing God's work off of it after a breakout 2019 season He was set to be an unrestricted free agent following the season in 2020 on March 13th He signed a one-year deal with 11.4 million, which I assume is what's called a franchise tag Which yeah, it is the broncho the Broncos place the franchise tag on him on March 13th 2020 and He signed that deal with eleven point four million. He was voted to the 2021 Pro Bowl He recorded five interceptions a career high and on March 5th 2021 the Broncos placed the franchise tag on Simmons for a second consecutive season Which he signed and on March 19th, 2021 the man Justin Simmons signed a four-year 61 million dollar contract extension 74 games 369 combined tackles 272 solo 97 assisted two sacks one fumble recovery five interceptions for 90 yards at an average of 18 with the longest of 46 Nine passes deflected as a safety So we've got five interceptions and nine passes deflected in 16 games. So in 16 games We've got 94 tackles We've got five interceptions and nine passes deflected and that my friends in a game where opportunities can be few and far between It's very impressive. So guys, thank you for watching. I hope you enjoyed. I've been looking forward to this one You know, it's been a good 14 minutes or so quarter of an hour quarter of an hour video a bit of a deep dive on Justin Simmons And it's a man I will never forget for the simple fact that I've reacted to this video series. So guys, thank you so much for watching in the next one We are looking at a very exciting player one. We didn't see enough last year Unfortunately, but certainly one of my favorite running backs if not players in the entire league Christian McCaffrey. So that's gonna be good Thank you for watching and peace out
