Ty Simpson, the Alabama quarterback, is a hot topic as the NFL draft approaches. Widely regarded as a first-round talent, he is viewed as the second-best quarterback behind the 2025 Heisman Trophy winner, Fernando Mendoza. Analyst Todd McShay has highlighted the Los Angeles Rams, valued at $10.5 billion, as a potential landing spot for Simpson with their No. 13 pick. McShay noted that the Rams are interested in Simpson and may consider trading up or down in the draft to secure him. Colin Cowherd, a fellow analyst, believes that the best scenario for Simpson would be to develop as a backup to veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford, who is expected to retire after the 2025 season but recently announced his return as the NFL MVP for that year. Nick Saban, Simpson's former coach at Alabama, also shared insights on his development, emphasizing the importance of maturity and experience in making decisions on the field. Simpson spent four years at Alabama, finally taking the starting role last season and leading the team to the playoffs, where they were eliminated by Indiana in the Rose Bowl quarterfinals.
