Juwan Simpson brings NFL-level linebacker traits to Gardner-Webb
Juwan Simpson is a 6-3, 225-pound linebacker with a classic pro-style frame and the kind of burst that showed up in pre-draft measurables, including a 4.55-second 40-yard dash and strong broad jump numbers; that athletic profile hints at range, pursuit speed, and playmaking upside. He’s the type of defender who can fit in an aggressive front because he combines length, movement skills, and proven production as a linebacker rather than just a clean-up tackler. If your team wants an athletic, sideline-to-sideline linebacker who can flash NFL traits, Simpson is the kind of name worth keeping on the board.
