Ty Simpson cements his status as a 2026 NFL Draft first-round quarterback, rallying the Alabama Crimson Tide with composure and pro-ready skill against Oklahoma. Can Simpson’s resilient performance and elite mental toughness distinguish him from celebrated Alabama alums like Bryce Young and Mac Jones, and set him apart in an NFL Draft class stacked with talented QBs? Damian Parson and Keith Sanchez break down Simpson’s standout throws, pocket presence, and ability to thrive despite receiver drops and shaky protection.

Discussion heats up around how Simpson’s traits translate to the NFL, addressing concerns about Alabama’s offensive weapons and the expectations for the “Bama standard.” Insights on rivals like Fernando Mendoza and Dante Moore fuel the debate for QB1 in the 2026 NFL Draft. Plus, the episode covers stock-rising and stock-falling prospects, exploring what NFL teams should watch as they scout the next wave of franchise quarterbacks.
