Ty Simpson was quickly vindicated for his decision to forego his final season of collegiate eligibility - and pass up ridiculous offers in the Transfer Portal - to enter the 2026 NFL Draft when Oregon QB Dante Moore, thought by many to be the QB2 behind Indiana's Fernando Mendoza, opted on Wednesday to return to college for another year.
In the eyes of many experts, that places Simpson as QB2 behind Mendoza now as we head into the pre-draft process. That has immediately begun to factor into new mock drafts, including this one by Nicholas Rome at Saturday Blitz.
