Clemson LB and Isaiah Simmons is a likely top-10 NFL Draft pick, and one of his main assets is versatility as he lined up at inside and and outside linebacker and in the secondary as a defensive back. ‘I would do everything I did in college, just kinda like a Swiss Army knife – move me around because then I’m really able to really show what I can do. I wouldn’t say I’m really tied down to one position,’ Simmons said. ‘(Clemson defensive) coach Venables, he really used me in a really special way that most people aren’t able to be used. I mean, I like getting interceptions just as much as I like getting sacks.’
