About this episode
Alabama’s Ty Simpson surges into the 2026 NFL Draft conversation as a top 50 prospect with a profile packed with high-level traits and untapped upside. Damian Parson and Keith Sanchez spotlight Simpson’s mature decision-making, impressive pocket presence, and accuracy on intermediate throws—key assets that powered an efficient Crimson Tide offense during an eye-opening nine-game stretch.The episode examines Simpson’s struggles when facing interior pressure, his need to quicken anticipation against NFL-caliber defenses, and what his one-year starting résumé means for his draft outlook. Debate intensifies over his arm talent, projected fit in offenses like the Rams or Cardinals, and NFL comps ranging from Tony Romo to Sam Darnold. Will Simpson’s mental processing, rhythm passing, and athleticism vault him into the 2026 first round, or will limited experience hold him back amid a quarterback-hungry league?Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
