Kirk Herbstreit tells why he currently has Ty Simpson as QB1 for 2026 NFL Draft

ESPN college football and Amazon Prime NFL commentator Kirk Herbstreit has Ty Simpson as QB1 for next year’s NFL Draft if the signal caller chooses to declare.

Simpson will be eligible to declare for the NFL Draft at the end of the season. This gives him a great opportunity to convince more people to jump on the Simpson QB1 train with Alabama’s SEC Championship and College Football Playoff hopes very much alive.

Herbstreit feels Simpson does not wow anyone with his physical metrics but feels he has the tools needed to be a good signal caller.
