From Unknown to Unstoppable: Why Alabama QB Ty Simpson is This Year’s NFL Draft Enigma
Quarterback chaos is the name of the game this NFL Draft season, and believe me, it’s got every front office scratching their heads. Just ask a top AFC exec who bluntly put it: “quarterbacks are all over the place.” That’s not just some passing comment on Miami’s Carson Beck unexpectedly climbing the ranks as a third-tier QB; it’s a sweeping observation about the sheer uncertainty clouding this entire draft class past Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza, the surprise No. 1 overall pick by the Las Vegas Raiders. After Mendoza’s called, the draft board might as well become a dartboard when it comes to the next signal-callers — like Alabama’s Ty Simpson — with no clear consensus on where or when their names will be shouted.

And if you ask around league circles, this year’s talent evaluators are split – six see Simpson as a late first-round steal, four peg him to slip into early second. The stakes, the speculation, the “what ifs” — they’re what make Thursday night and beyond a thrilling spectacle that’s anyone’s guess. LEARN MORE
