2025 Fantasy Outlook
Simon broke out as a fifth-year senior at Ohio State in 2024, helping lead the team to victory in the CFP National Championship Game with 112 tackles, including 7.0 sacks, in 15 contests. The Cardinals made a modest investment in him with a fourth-round pick in the 2025 Draft, but he may have to play the waiting game for a consistent gig behind veteran off-ball linebackers Mack Wilson and Akeem Davis-Gaither as a rookie.
