Ty Simpson’s NFL Draft Stock Sparks Debate: Joel Klatt Cites Limited Experience, Dan Orlovsky Praises Accuracy
The 2026 NFL Draft class features Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson as a polarizing prospect, projected as the second QB off the board. Fox Sports analyst Joel Klatt raised concerns about Simpson’s limited college experience, noting his 15 starts fall short of the average for Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks. Conversely, ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky lauded Simpson’s surgical accuracy and on-field performance, comparing him to Brock Purdy and suggesting his draft stock would soar with more physical traits or college starts.
