Film Profile | Analytical Profile Ty Simpson Draft Profile Prospect Information College: Alabama Height/Weight: 6’ 1’’/211 Hands: 9 3/8" Age: 23 (at the time of the 2026 season opener) Important NFL Combine/Pro Day Numbers 40-Yard Dash: N/A Vertical Jump: N/A Broad Jump: N/A 20-Yard Shuttle: N/A 3-Cone: N/A College Production ( Stats ) Profiles similar to: Brock Purdy Plays similar to: A more athletic Mac Jones (but with Eli Manning's throwing mechanics) Position-Specific Attributes and Grades Note: my usual format (citing examples for each attribute) does not display well on the site.

Turnover worthy play rate of 3% in his first year as a starter in the SEC with a lackluster running game supporting him is commendable. Typically very good at working the short and intermediate part of the field; posted 22 touchdowns versus only two interceptions on throws that traveled less than 20 yards in the air; very confident throwing over the middle of the field. Possesses refined throwing mechanics (footwork, follow-through, etc.

) and appears comfortable working the pocket to his benefit. Above-average athlete who can outrun most defensive linemen to the edge and throw with accuracy on the move. Boasts a quick processor and does not hesitate to rip it when he sees it.

Negatives While his 6-foot-1, 211-pound frame does not automatically disqualify him from being a good NFL quarterback, it is not typically the kind of build that succeeds at the next level. Tried to do too much on too many runs, which is a recipe for disaster (in terms of his durability) in the NFL given his small frame. Did not account for a middle-of-the-field defender on most of his interceptions, suggesting an inability to adjust to a coverage look that changes post-snap.
