The Arizona Cardinals have selected safety /linebacker Isaiah Simmons with the NFL Draft's 2020 eighth overall pick.
Simmons will upgrade an Arizona defense that struggled to a 31st overall ranking utilizing numberFire's 2019 Expected Points metric. Expect the jack-of-all trades defensive speedster to play immediately at multiple positions including nickel corner, safety, and linebacker.
In 44 total games with Clemson, Simmons recorded 11 sacks, 4 interceptions, and 28.5 tackles for a loss.
