2026 NFL draft: Arizona Cardinals named a top fit for QB Ty Simpson
Alabama has its pro day Wednesday, which means more Ty Simpson talk. The Cardinals are one of the top fits for Simpson.
If any one player in the 2026 NFL draft has dominated the online space for the Arizona Cardinals , it has been quarterback Ty Simpson. Considered the No. 2 quarterback prospect in this draft class, he has been gaining steam as a potential selection for the Cardinals.
Alabama's pro day is Wednesday, which means Simpson is again going to be a topic of conversation. SI. com's Justin Melo named some of the top fits for Simpson , and they include the Cardinals.
Why are the Cardinals a good fit for Alabama QB Ty Simpson The Arizona Cardinals are another rebuilding franchise who are drafting too early (No. 3) to consider Simpson in the first round. They currently have Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew at quarterback.
It's obvious that new head coach Mike LaFleur is eventually going to get an opportunity to hand-pick his own quarterback. If LaFleur likes Simpson, could the Cardinals consider trading down from No. 3 overall, or perhaps more likely, combine their second-and-third-round picks to move back into the latter half of the first round?
