Isaiah Simmons joined Packers because they had the "best plan" for him

In his free agency, Isaiah Simmons sought clarity on his role, asking teams about their plans for him. The Green Bay Packers stood out to Simmons due to their focused approach. Defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley is concentrating Simmons' efforts solely on playing linebacker, a position he stepped into following Quay Walker's injury. Simmons appreciates this narrowed focus, as he felt his versatility in previous teams was both a gift and a curse, leading to an unfocused career path. Although Simmons has experience in various roles, including slot, safety, and edge rusher, no NFL team has fully harnessed his potential since his college success at Clemson. Despite starting only five games with the Giants, Simmons is motivated and grateful for the chance to prove himself with the Packers.
