Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox argued the Atlanta Falcons should consider replacing veteran Justin Simmons with a 2022 NFL All-Pro.
signed 4-time second-team All-Pro safety Justin Simmons during the 2024 preseason. While that move solidified the back end of Atlanta's defense, it didn't have as great of an impact as initially hoped.
"Based on past production, Hufanga should be considered one of the top defensive backs headed into free agency. Fast, physical and with a keen eye for diagnosing plays, he can add a disruptive presence to any secondary,""When fully healthy in 2022, Hufanga rallied two forced fumbles, four interceptions and five tackles for loss while earning first-team All-Pro honors. He'll turn only 26 next month.
Knox ranked Hufanga at No. 8 among the top 50 NFL free agents for this offseason. He also named the Falcons and Detroit Lions as Hufanga's top two potential suitors.. But he's never made first-team All-Pro like Hufanga did in 2022.97 combined tackles with 9 pass defenses to go with his other statistics.That could make Hufanga one of the riskier high-profiled free agents this offseason. But he turns just 26 in Feb.
