Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury reiterated No. 8 overall pick Isaiah Simmons will primarily play linebacker."Our thought process, is if he is really able to focus on one position, having the flexibility to still move around, but really focus on one, what does that look like?" Kingsbury said. "And the sky can really be the limit." Simmons, the 2019 ACC Defensive Player of the Year and Butkus Award winner, logged 303 snaps at cornerback, 218 at safety, 160 at outside linebacker, and 121 at inside linebacker just last year with the Tigers. Cardinals GM Steve Keim referred to the 21-year-old as a 'Swiss Army knife' on draft night, but it's hard to imagine the rookie developing as such with his hands tied. His first year under DC Vance Joseph will be an intriguing one, for better or worse.
