All-Pro Safety Heading To San Francisco 49ers?
The San Francisco 49ers already have a starting safety unit that they are comfortable with heading into 2024, but would they look to upgrade the unit with an All-Pro if possible? Justin Simmons and Jamal Adams both unexpectedly were released by their teams in the last few weeks, and together they have a combined seven All-Pro nods to their list of accolades. The San Francisco 49ers would not be doing their due diligence if they did not at least kick the tires on adding an All-Pro to their roster.
Justin Simmons Can Elevate San Francisco 49ers Secondary
Free Safety Justin Simmons could supplant San Francisco 49ers incumbent starter Ji’Ayir Brown if signed by the team. This is no slight to Brown, but Simmons just brings more versatility and experience to the 49ers defense. Simmons has lined up all over the Broncos Broncos defense. According to Pro Football Focus, he has played 15% of snaps in the slot, 29% in the box, and 54% as a free safety. This is the type of versatility that can be a difference-maker for an already talented 49ers defense.
