\u201cIt\u2019s preposterous how people view me when they haven\u2019t seen me in person and seen what I could do,\u201d Simpson <\/a>said.<\/p>\n Simpson’s pro day was impressive, but far from the best in the history of the draft process. His arm talent is there, even if it has not necessarily lit up the statsheet in his time in college.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s a great question,\u201d Simpson said. \u201cCome watch me throw. Everybody will refrain from that from now on. It\u2019s crazy. I wanted to show arm strength, and then, two, show everybody that I could go under center \u2014 whether it\u2019s seven-step, five-step, three-step, three-plant, five-plant \u2014 just something to where I could do everything. \u2026 Everybody (says) I\u2019m not the most athletic guy. And I just laugh that off, too.\u201d<\/p>\n Would Simpson Work In Pittsburgh?<\/p>\n Simpson is far from an incredibly mobile quarterbac<\/a>k, and that is certainly detrimental to his draft profile, but he is still likely to get a good role wherever he ends up. Of all the times in the back end of the draft order, his best fit is certainly the Steelers. This is due to the fact that they both are in desperate need of a quarterback as well as having the receiving talent to help that quarterback succeed.<\/p>\n Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Ty Simpson (15) hands off the ball to Alabama Crimson Tide running back Kevin Riley (28) on Thursday, Jan. 1, 2026, during the 112th annual Rose Bowl game in Pasadena.

All will be settled in that regard when April 23 rolls around, and the No. 21 pick comes up as the team plays host to the NFL Draft’s first night.<\/p>\n Make sure to bookmark Steelers On SI<\/a>,<\/a> and find out podcast All Steelers Talk on YouTube<\/a>or anywhere you listen!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers find themselves at a turning point, where a quite important decision has to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":600051,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[436],"tags":[49,48,514,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-600050","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/600050","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=600050"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/600050\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/600051"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=600050"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=600050"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=600050"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Alabama](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/01kp1e5hjh9fa64fj7wz.jpg\" "\\"Alabama")
