The Los Angeles Rams have selected Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson with the 13th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, securing a potential successor at the position.
Simpson, who completed the 2025 college football season with a 9-to-0 touchdown-to-interception ratio through the first nine games, was highlighted by Alabama Public Radio for his performance in the team’s victory over Tennessee on October 18, 2025. In that game, Simpson threw for 253 yards and two touchdowns without an interception, leading two touchdown drives of over 90 yards each.
The Rams’ selection comes as Alabama’s football program continues to produce NFL-ready talent, with Simpson’s poise and decision-making under pressure drawing attention from scouts. His ability to manage games effectively was evident in Alabama’s win over Tennessee, where the defense held the Volunteers to 410 yards — well below their season average — after Simpson’s early touchdown passes gave the Crimson Tide a 23-7 lead.
