Ty Simpson says it’s 'preposterous' how he is being evaluated

Despite the possibility of him being the second quarterback to be taken in the 2026 NFL Draft, some still question Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson’s abilities. Even though Simpson led his team to the College Football Playoff and looked impressive in his workouts, there are still questions about him. First, about his size (he’s only 6’1 or 6’2), his durability, although he played the second half of last season with a hurt back, and the number of starts he has made.

Some are even questioning his arm strength. Simpson played in only 15 games in his one year starting for the Crimson Tide. Simpson thinks it’s crazy that people are still questioning him.

He talked about this on Chase Daniel’s podcast. “It’s preposterous how people view me when they haven’t even seen me in person and seen what I can do,” he said. Ty Simpson says it’s “preposterous” how people evaluate him without really seeing it.

He believes the narrative about him is flat out wrong. We spent an hour talking ball and breaking down his tape—different level of detail. Full episode NOW on Patreon…YouTube drops Tuesday.
