Simpson's Draft Buzz: Top Teams Eye Alabama QB

0:00On April 5th, Alabama's Thai Simpson is turning heads as the next big quarterback name in the 2026 NFL draft class. With Indiana's Fernando Mendoza locked in as the top pick for the Las Vegas Raiders, all eyes shift to Simpson. NFL Insider Ian Rappaport dropped a word on March 31st that the Crimson Tide star set up top 30 visits with three teams in a private workout. With a fourth, everyone desperate for a long-term signal caller. Those squads include the New York Jets, Arizona Cardinals, Cleveland Browns, and Miami Dolphins. Each one's quarterback room looks shaky heading into next season. The Jets overhauled theirs, trading Justin Fields, grabbing Geno Smith as a bridge guy, and leaning on unproven backups. Arizona cut ties with Kyler Murray, sticking with vets like Jacobi Preset, who won't last. Cleveland's trio of Shadur Sanders, Dylan Gabriel, and DeShawn Watson has underdelivered so far. Meanwhile, Miami's rebuilding around new starter Malik Willis, but might need insurance.
