“Ex-Dolphin Star Jevon Holland: The Secret Weapon for Giants’ Defensive Overhaul?”
Why He’s Still Valuable
Hollandâs season last year compared to Justin Simmons both in very good coverage ability and tackling issues. Simmons waited out free agency for a long time before settling on a one-year, $8 million deal with the Falcons, and that was coming over a season in which he was second-team All-Pro.
There are several factors and the biggest is also the most obvious. Simmons was entering his age-31 season last year; Holland will be entering his age-25 season this year.
There are positions where you can live with aging players, but safety usually isnât one of them. The elite quarterbacks usually age like wine, but a lot of elite safeties age like milk and teams donât want to be stuck holding the carton on the expiration date.
