The Arizona Cardinals traded Isaiah Simmons to the New York Giants before the 2023 season after he had played three seasons in the NFL after they made him the No. 8 overall pick in 2020.

After two seasons with the Giants, Simmons signed a one-year deal to join the Green Bay Packers.
Simmons has not been the star he wanted to be. Playing for a bad Giants team, in 2024, he played in a career-low 181 defensive snaps. He played in all 17 games last season for Simons, logging 21 total tackles, two pass breakups and an interception.
