veteran Norfolk State DB with special-teams value and steady tackler instincts
Allen Simon brings the kind of depth-piece reliability coaches notice: at Norfolk State he worked as a reserve defensive back and special teams contributor, recording 3 tackles in 8 games in 2014 after 2 tackles in 6 games in 2013, and his background includes quarterback, defensive back and track in high school, which suggests athletic versatility and field awareness.[2] The stat line is modest, but the differentiator is experience, multi-phase utility and a history of earning recognition as a high-school athlete and NSU honor-roll student, making him more of a dependable, plug-and-play roster fit than a headline-grabbing playmaker.[2]
