"First off, I think I'm ready, I'm a franchise quarterback. Alabama prepares you the most for the NFL ... The Alabama locker room is as close to an NFL locker room as you can get. It's why I decided to throw and why I'm excited about it."
"Lot of eating, lot of three meals, four meals a day. Lot of shakes, just getting in a routine of getting up in the morning, eating, drinking chocolate milk, eating lunch, eating the right meal, adding a shake to that, dinner, eating, adding a salad, just sticking to that."
Ty Simpson, Alabama's former quarterback, expressed confidence at the NFL combine that he is prepared to be an NFL franchise quarterback. Ranked No. 25 overall by ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. and No. 2 among quarterbacks, Simpson emphasized Alabama's preparation for professional football and the similarity of its locker room environment to the NFL. After battling injuries including lower back, elbow, and rib fractures during the season, Simpson confirmed his health and plans to participate in Saturday's quarterback workout. He addressed significant weight loss from 210 to 190 pounds, attributed to gastritis, and detailed his recovery regimen involving frequent meals and shakes. As a one-year starter for Alabama, Simpson completed his season with 3,567 passing yards, 28 touchdowns, and five interceptions.
