NFL Combine QB Session Unveils Unexpected Star Power and Surprising Hidden Gems
Advertisement
That was the biggest takeaway from Saturday’s throwing sessions, which were suggestive of what we’ve been hearing from talent evaluators for a while: You can find some tools or traits to like, but when you get beyond Mendoza, the 2026 NFL Draft is filled with a litany of backup quarterbacks and a precious few who might develop into starters.
A brief thumbnail on five who stood out throwing against air:
Alabama’s Ty Simpson — You can see why he’s firmly entrenched as the No. 2 quarterback in the class, albeit far behind Mendoza. He was smooth and relatively mistake-free Saturday, with easy mechanics and accuracy with all the throws that he was tasked with. It’s not hard to see where the Brock Purdy comparisons are coming from, with both his size and how he looks throwing.
