Signs with Indy's practice squad
Simpson was signed to Indianapolis' practice squad Wednesday, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
A 2024 fifth-round draft pick, Simpson was unable to make the Colts' 53-man roster but may get time on the practice squad to develop as a cornerback after playing primarily at safety in college.

The Colts narrowly missed the playoffs in 2023, even with dynamic rookie QB Anthony Richardson suiting up for just four games. With Richardson back to full health, postseason football is possible for Indy.
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Simpson, a 2024 fourth-round draft pick, will move to cornerback after playing safety at Auburn. Simpson's 4.45-second 40-yard dash and 39.5-inch vertical will definitely play at corner, and the same is true of his outstanding reach (32 and 3/8-inch arms). Perhaps Simpson is a bit of a project for the Colts, but these are raw materials that can clearly refine into something useful with a little luck. He'll compete for a backup corner role in training camp and it wouldn't be surprising to see him play safety or a hybrid role as well.
