Alabama QB Ty Simpson Confirms First-Round Potential Post Pro Day Workout

Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson has recently delivered a strong performance at his Pro Day workout, reaffirming his potential as a first-round draft pick. Last season, Simpson completed 64.5% of his passes, throwing for 3,567 yards and 28 touchdowns.

Performance and Challenges

Early in the season, Simpson’s efficiency was notable, but he faced challenges in his last five games. During this stretch, he averaged 156 passing yards, with six touchdowns and three interceptions. His declining performance can be attributed to multiple injuries, including gastritis, which impacted his weight, bringing it below 200 pounds before the College Football Playoff. Unfortunately, he left Alabama’s Rose Bowl game against the national champion Indiana due to a rib injury.

Physical Condition and Preparation

At the recent combine, Simpson weighed in at 211 pounds and reported being fully healthy as he approaches the draft. He has already met with potential teams, such as the Los Angeles Rams, who hold the 13th overall pick, and the New York Jets, who have selections at second and 16th overall.

Confident Outlook for the Draft

Expressing his readiness, Simpson stated, “I feel great. Just getting back to normal — sleep, recovery.” He noted the intense preparation during the season often overshadowed personal well-being. Now, with a clear mind, he aims to showcase his capabilities as a franchise quarterback.

Draft Expectations

As the draft approaches, Simpson’s health and performance will keep him in discussions among analysts and scouts. His ambition is to demonstrate the skill set that originally made him a top prospect for the 2025 season. “When I go into a program, I’m program-changing,” he remarked. “If you draft me, I’m looking after the whole team and making sure I leave it better than I found it.”
