Ty Simpson

What the tape shows

Ty Simpson is a balanced, pocket-capable quarterback with functional mobility and flashes of vertical accuracy, projecting as a developmental starter in a timing-based offense with movement elements. He shows good pocket movement and awareness, consistently navigating pressure and maintaining throwing opportunities, while also demonstrating the willingness and ability to pick up yards on the ground when needed. As a passer, he flashes strong deep ball placement and shows solid coverage identification when operating from a clean pocket, along with an understanding of replacing the blitz with quick throws—though this remains inconsistent. However, his game is limited by accuracy and mechanics under pressure, as balls tend to sail—particularly on outside throws—and he will miss placements away from defenders. He also needs refinement in play-action mechanics to better sell and maintain timing, and when facing consistent pressure, his decision-making can default to quick spot concepts rather than progressing through reads. But his can be view as a positive and willing to take what he can get. Overall, he projects as a traits-based quarterback with solid foundational tools whose ceiling will depend on improving consistency under pressure, tightening mechanics, and becoming more reliable in his quick-game decision-making. Best NFL Fits (Scheme + Need): Simpson fits best in offenses that emphasize play-action, movement, and defined reads while still allowing vertical opportunities—such as the Tennessee Titans, Atlanta Falcons, Seattle Seahawks, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Indianapolis Colts—where he can operate within structure, utilize his pocket movement and mobility, and continue to develop consistency in accuracy and processing under pressure.
