A cubist interpretation of a quarterback's throwing motion captures the dynamic energy and complexity of the NFL draft process.Fulton TodayFormer Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson has scheduled three more top-30 visits with NFL teams, including the Arizona Cardinals, Miami Dolphins, and Cleveland Browns, as he continues to rise up draft boards ahead of the 2023 NFL Draft. Simpson is widely viewed as the second-best quarterback prospect in this year's class behind Indiana's Fernando Mendoza.
Why it matters
All four teams Simpson has worked out for or scheduled visits with - the Jets, Dolphins, Cardinals, and Browns - are in the market for a new starting quarterback this offseason. Simpson's rising draft stock and multiple top-30 visits indicate he is firmly in the conversation to be an early-round selection.
The details
As Alabama's starting quarterback last season, Simpson completed 64.5% of his passes for 3,567 yards and 28 touchdowns to just 5 interceptions. He also added 93 rushing yards and 2 rushing touchdowns. Simpson led the Crimson Tide to an 11-4 record, including the program's first-ever road victory in the College Football Playoff against Oklahoma.
- Simpson held a private workout with the New York Jets last Friday at the Mal Moore Athletic Complex.
- The NFL Draft will start with the first round on Thursday, April 23.

The takeaway
