2026 NFL Draft position rankings, Part 3: Why Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson is the draft’s biggest wild card
The 2026 NFL Draft quarterback class is expected to be strong, with Alabama's Ty Simpson being a wild card due to his limited starting experience and size. Simpson's performance has been inconsistent, but he is still projected to be the second quarterback off the board, behind Indiana's Fernando Mendoza.
The 2026 NFL Draft is approaching, and the quarterback class is highly anticipated. Alabama's Ty Simpson is a surprise and divisive prospect, with limited starting experience and a size that rarely succeeds at the NFL level. Simpson had an up-and-down season, with impressive performances, but also struggles, including a loss to Georgia in the SEC Championship Game. He has been open about dealing with gastritis, which affected his play. Despite the risks, Simpson is expected to be drafted early, with his potential and ability to adjust to the NFL level being a major factor. The Cleveland Browns are among the teams that may be interested in drafting a quarterback, but they have a difficult position to fill.
