In a stunning show of heart and heroism, former Denver Broncos safety Justin Simmons and his wife Taryn have pledged $3.5 million to support children fighting cancer in the Denver area, sources told ESPN. While Simmons may be a free agent after a brief 2024 stint with the Falcons, his heart has never left Colorado.
The four-time All-Pro isn’t chasing headlines — he’s championing hope. The donation, set to fund pediatric cancer treatment and research at local hospitals, is deeply personal for Simmons, who told MileHighReport.com, “We’ve seen the fight these kids endure. This is about giving them hope, not just me.”
Simmons’ impactful legacy in Denver goes well beyond his 30 interceptions and two Pro Bowl appearances. Through the Justin Simmons Foundation, he’s built strong community ties — and this latest gesture has galvanized Broncos Country with admiration and pride.
With the Broncos currently listed at +2500 Super Bowl odds, fans are buzzing about Simmons potentially returning to the team that drafted him. “Denver’s my home,” Simmons shared with NFL.com, hinting that a reunion may be in the works.
General Manager George Paton acknowledged the possibility, telling denverbroncos.com, “His heart and skill are welcome here.” The locker room and fanbase alike would embrace his return — not just for his playmaking, but for his unmatched leadership.
As training camp looms, Simmons’ act of generosity has reignited a sense of unity in Denver. Whether or not he suits up in orange and blue again, one thing is certain: Justin Simmons remains a pillar of strength — on the field, and in the fight that matters most.
