Justin Simmons Talks Retirement, Broncos Memories, Sean Payton & His Golf Obsession

from Closed Course

Former Denver Broncos safety and two-time Pro Bowler Justin Simmons joins Closed Course, presented by Pins & Aces, for a wide-ranging conversation about golf, football, retirement, and life after the NFL. Justin talks about how he first got hooked on golf, why the game has become such a big part of his competitive life after football, and what it was like playing in member-guest tournaments after years of performing in front of NFL crowds. He shares stories about golfing with Broncos teammates, the best players in the locker room, and why kickers and special teams guys always seem to have the best swings. The conversation also gets into Justin's NFL retirement, why Denver still feels like home, whether he would ever consider returning to the Broncos, and what went into his decision to step away from football. He also tells a hilarious Sean Payton story involving "fumble sleeves," breaks down his game-day fashion and custom suits, and reflects on family, mental health, fatherhood, and being intentional with the people around you. Plus, Justin shares updates on The Weekly Cut, his podcast with Louie Romero, and the work being done through the Justin Simmons Foundation.
