Packers LB Isaiah Simmons wanted to know what plans the team had for him prior to signing and commented on filling in on first-team defense as well as his experience with the Giants.
“To me, it seemed like Green Bay had the best plan , was most excited about me and liked me,” Simmons said, via Bill Huber of SI.com. “I think really what I ran into most of my career is everybody wants me to do everything as opposed to letting me get really good at one thing first. I fully believe in Haf’s plan. He’s letting me just lock in and learn a small portion first before we even think about expanding to anything else. That’s something I really appreciate because I never really had that opportunity to really just hone in on one position. That’s been huge for me. It’s something . . . that hasn’t been presented to me because my versatility, I feel like it’s a little bit of a gift and a curse, where they want you to do everything but, at the end of the day, I’m still a human.”
“I’m actually very grateful for New York for what they did,” Simmons noted. “They lit a fire under me, and I’m ready to go.”
