Ty Simpson‘s physical attributes, play style and movement patterns remind us of Matt Corral. Like Corral, Simpson is a twitchy mover both in and out of the pocket. Both have outstanding foot quickness with the ability to plant, drive out and reset. They’re both around the 6-foot-1 mark, though Corral was a bit heavier as a high school prospect at 210 pounds. One of the biggest similarities comes by way of the improvisational play style that bordered on backyard football at times. Both also showed live arms at the high school level with the ability to drive the ball with velocity to the second and third levels. There’s also similarities in terms of rushing upside. Simpson was the most productive rusher among top quarterbacks in the 2022 cycle with over 1,000 yards as a senior. We saw Corral handle a heavy rushing load in Ole Miss’ offense with 614 yards and 11 scores on the ground.
