“Absolute Clown” “Kiss of Death”: Fans Rip Dan Orlovsky for Picking Ty Simpson over Fernando Mendoza Ahead of NFL Combine

  • On Feb. 27 at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Ty Simpson met teams including the Browns, Steelers, Cardinals and Jets, and plans to throw Saturday.
  • Many mock drafts project Simpson as a second-best quarterback after Mendoza, with Simpson's SEC-leading 473 attempts and 3,567 yards fueling the debate, despite late-season struggles.
  • Simpson outlined his health and prep routines, saying he dropped from about 210 pounds to just over 190 due to gastritis and stressed `It matters what happens April 24th and 25th`.
  • General Manager Andrew Berry could use the 24th pick on Simpson or the 39th pick, while Cleveland also weighs free-agent Malik Willis and trade target Anthony Richardson.
  • Todd Monken's QB background frames Simpson's potential fit in Cleveland, as Monken rekindles ties with Simpson and his experience with Lamar Jackson benefits Simpson's 2026 draft outlook.
