Plenty has changed in Denver since both players were drafted in 2016. They are on their third head coach, third defensive coordinator and their roles have evolved. Simmons, a third-round safety was the only Broncos defensive player to not miss a snap (2,077) while ranking second in tackle (97) and tied for first in interceptions (three).
