Steelers Weigh Alabama QB Ty Simpson at the Combine
The Steelers met with Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson at the NFL Scouting Combine, evaluating him as a potential first- or early-second-round pick. Simpson, 23, started for the Tide and threw for 3,567 yards with 28 touchdowns and 5 interceptions while completing 64.5% of his passes; he also led the SEC with 305 completions on 473 attempts. At 6-2, 208 pounds he has solid mechanics but lacks a standout elite trait, so Pittsburgh will be gauging his processing and retention in meetings. If they truly like him, they’d need to consider him around the 21st overall pick, since he may not be available by the Steelers’ second-round slot.
