1. Isaiah Simmons

This will be the last time we see Isaiah Simmons suit up as a Tiger.

Simmons has been the most versatile and dominant defensive player in the nation this season and is expected to be one of the top selections in this coming year’s NFL Draft.

We’re going to see him line up at linebacker and at safety. Simmons will be tasked with being a run-stopper, providing solid coverage, spying Burrow, putting pressure on the QB, and dropping back as a safety-valve at times.
