Latest NFL mock draft projects Alabama QB Ty Simpson to replace a Hall of Famer

In Alabama’s Week 12 loss to Oklahoma, Ty Simpson had his worst game since the Crimson Tide’s Week 1 upset loss to Florida State. So, with such a small sample size for the draft-eligible first-year starter, his two-turnover performance could have massive repercussions on his draft stock.

In Nicholas Rome’s latest NFL Mock Draft on Saturday Blitz, Simpson, once considered a contender for the No. 1 overall pick, slid to the Pittsburgh Steelers at No. 21, where he would replace future Hall of Famer and four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers.

The 41-year-old Rodgers is on a one-year contract in Pittsburgh.
