The Arizona Cardinals are leaving no stone unturned in their quarterback evaluation, hosting another top prospect as the 2026 NFL Draft approaches next week.
According to reports, former Alabama signal-caller Ty Simpson is scheduled for a visit with the Cardinals on Wednesday. Simpson, widely considered one of the premier quarterbacks in this year's class, is coming off a standout 2025 season where he started 15 games for the Crimson Tide.
In his lone season as the full-time starter, Simpson showcased impressive efficiency and poise, completing 64.5 percent of his passes for 3,567 yards, 25 touchdowns, and just five interceptions. His path to the starting role required patience, as he previously served behind established NFL talents Bryce Young and Jalen Milroe in the competitive Alabama quarterback room.
Simpson's visit is part of a clear pattern in Arizona. The Cardinals have been actively scouting the quarterback position, also meeting with Penn State's Drew Allar this week. This due diligence makes strategic sense for a team looking to solidify its future under center.
The current quarterback room in Arizona features experienced veterans Jacoby Brissett and Garner Minshew, alongside Kedon Slovis. Bringing in a young, talented arm like Simpson could provide crucial competition and a long-term developmental option as the franchise builds for the future.
