PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT
Simpson is a highly athletic and versatile linebacker who can be used in a variety of schemes. He has the speed and agility to play in a 4-3 defense and the versatility to play in a 3-4 defense. He's a solid tackler and can be used to set the edge against the run. His coverage skills make him a valuable asset in passing situations, and he can be used to drop back in coverage or rush the passer.
CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS
High-End Starter Potential (65-69)
A player expected to become a top-tier starter within their first few years. They possess strong physical tools and good technical skills but may have some limitations in their game. With development, they can reach near-elite levels and provide consistent impact at their position.
