One of the most anticipated names at the NFL Combine is Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson. He has reportedly drawn interest from several NFL teams and remains on their radar. However, concerns about his health have surfaced, especially after a serious illness caused him to lose significant weight before the postseason ended.

Ty Simpson went through a difficult period before Alabama’s 2025 season ended. He suffered a severe case of gastritis that caused him to lose 25 pounds, a significant and risky drop for an athlete whose normal playing weight is around 215 pounds. The condition developed after he took anti-inflammatory medication to manage a back injury.

By the end of the season, Simpson was playing at around 190 pounds. However, there is positive news ahead of the NFL Combine. He has regained his weight and is now back to around 215 pounds. After strong throwing and interview sessions, he could even enter the conversation as a potential first-round pick.
