Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson declared himself a lock for the first round of the NFL Draft. Speaking after his pro day workout in Tuscaloosa, Simpson stated, 'Absolutely,' he's a first-round pick. He completed 64.5% of his passes for 3,567 yards and 28 touchdowns last season, though injuries hampered his final five games.

Simpson, now fully healthy at 211 pounds, met with the Los Angeles Rams and New York Jets. The Jets, needing a QB, will host Simpson for dinner and a private workout. Simpson emphasized his ability to elevate a program, claiming, 'I don't just make myself better, I make other people better.' His positioning on draft boards remains strong, driven by his early-season elite play and current health.
