2024 Fantasy Outlook
Simpson, a 2024 fourth-round draft pick, will move to cornerback after playing safety at Auburn. Simpson's 4.45-second 40-yard dash and 39.5-inch vertical will definitely play at corner, and the same is true of his outstanding reach (32 and 3/8-inch arms). Perhaps Simpson is a bit of a project for the Colts, but these are raw materials that can clearly refine into something useful with a little luck. He'll compete for a backup corner role in training camp and it wouldn't be surprising to see him play safety or a hybrid role as well. Read Past Outlooks
Signs with Indy's practice squad
Simpson was signed to Indianapolis' practice squad Wednesday, the Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Indy's 2024 fifth-round draft pick may get time on the practice squad to develop as a cornerback as he was a safety in college. Given the team's lack of new talent in the secondary, he could get a chance in a regular-season game at some point.
