2026 NFL draft: Arizona Cardinals host Ty Simpson in final day of visits
The Arizona Cardinals hosted a QB prospect on the last day of top-30 visits.
Could the Arizona Cardinals draft a quarterback next week? It could happen, and the talk about the possibility will increase. According to ESPN's Field Yates , on the final day of pre-draft official visits, the Cardinals hosted Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson.
Simpson is viewed as the No. 2 quarterback prospect in the draft after Fernando Mendoza, who is expected to be drafted first overall by the Las Vegas Raiders. The Cardinals have been connected to Simpson throughout the draft process by analysts and in many mock drafts.
They need a young quarterback, as Jacoby Brissett certainly is the not the future of the team. Simpson has the potential to be great but there are questions. Some predict the Cardinals would draft him in the second round if he is available, and many predict they will trade back up into the first round to get him.
The late top-30 visit will not quell speculation. Simpson was a one-year starter at Alabama. He completed 64.
