Alabama's Ty Simpson was selected with the Rams at the 13th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, becoming the second quarterback selected after Fernando Mendoza was selected first. Simpson, who only started for the Crimson Tide for one season, is expected to replace Matthew Stafford as the backup to him. Despite a disappointing college career, Simpson had a strong showing with 3,567 passing yards and 28 passing touchdowns to five interceptions. The draft was overshadowed by a lack of standout performances from other top quarterbacks. The Post's Ryan Dunleavy ranked Simpson the class' No. 2 quarterback.
