Jets Schedule Private Workout with QB Ty Simpson for NFL Draft Insight

The New York Jets are set to conduct a private workout with quarterback Ty Simpson from the University of Alabama. Scheduled for Friday, this meeting will allow the team to evaluate one of the leading prospects in the upcoming NFL Draft.

Jets’ Draft Positioning and Ty Simpson’s Potential

Currently, the Jets hold both the No. 2 and No. 16 picks in the first round. Although selecting a quarterback at No. 2 appears unlikely, Simpson could be a viable choice at No. 16. There is speculation that the Jets may consider trading up into the latter stages of the first round to secure Simpson.

No. 2 pick – First round
No. 16 pick – First round
No. 33 pick – Second round
No. 44 pick – Second round

Simpson’s Performance and Draft Report

Ty Simpson recently showcased his skills at Alabama’s Pro Day on March 25, 2026. NFL scouts and team executives were present to witness his performance. Although the Jets had representation at the event, head coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey attended a workout in Ohio to evaluate players from Ohio State.

Simpson is regarded as the second-best quarterback in this year’s draft class, trailing only Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza. Mendoza is projected to be the first overall pick, heading to the Las Vegas Raiders.
