| A one-gap linebacker with marginal instincts, Simpson could back-up in a penetrating defense that allows him to freely flow to the action. |
| Biography: |
Three-year starter who also saw limited action with the first team
as a freshman. Senior totals included 86 tackles with six tackles for
loss. Also intercepted one pass and broke up two more. Junior numbers
were 64/6/1.5 with a pair of picks.
Pos:
Athletic linebacker who is best in pursuit. Flows well to the
action, nicely scrapes in the box and displays speed to the sidelines.
Quickly changes direction and covers a good amount of area on the
field. Explosive filling gaps and fast on the blitz.
Neg:
Inefficient and does not consistently take good angles to the play.
Easily blocked by a single opponent and gets lost in the trash moving.
Does more chasing the action as opposed to making plays on the ball.
