Could Ty Simpson Be the Next NFL Franchise Quarterback? Alabama’s Secret Weapon Revealed
“First off, I think I’m ready, I’m a franchise quarterback,” Simpson said, via ESPNs’ Jeff Legwold. “Alabama prepares you the most for the NFL … The Alabama locker room is as close to an NFL locker room as you can get.”
The combine very well could be a major boon to Simpson’s draft stock. That is, if he does well.
Unlike Mendoza, who plans to just meet with teams, Simpson will be throwing in front of NFL teams this weekend. This will be the first time that he will get an opportunity to show what he can do when healthy since the middle of the Crimson Tide’s season, when his play slipped as he battled through injuries. Over the final six games of the year, Simpson completed just 60.5% of his passes and threw 7 touchdowns and 4 interceptions, as compared to the first nine games, when he posted a 66.9% completion percentage, 23 total touchdowns, and one interception.
