Los Angeles Rams select quarterback Ty Simpson with No.13 pick in 2026 NFL Draft

The Athletic has live coverage of the 2026 NFL Draft.The Los Angeles Rams selected Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson with the 13th pick in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Simpson was the second quarterback taken.The story of Simpson’s college career was an unusual one in the transfer portal era: a quarterback who waited his turn, rising up the depth chart until he got his chance to play last season. Rather than take an offer to transfer to another school for big money, Simpson decided to enter the draft, saying he couldn’t see himself play anywhere else other than Alabama.That may be laudable for old-school college fans. But it adds mystery to his NFL projection.Advertisement
