Scouting Report: Strengths
- Sprays the ball anywhere on the field, especially when given a pocket from which to deliver. Will step up into pocket while looking downfield, reset his feet and deliver.
- Simpson has a quick release and shows good accuracy on shorter throws when on the move to either side.
- Simpson has plus arm strength and a willingness and ability to throw receivers open, as well as good ball placement out to intermediate levels.
- He’s a threat with his legs - his play-fakes are outstanding, and Simpson has the ability to manipulate safeties with his eyes.
- Flashes good accuracy to all levels of the field and has the arm strength to make every requisite NFL throw.
- Enough arm strength to drive the ball through tight windows up to 20 yards downfield. Spreads the ball around to multiple receivers.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- He’s more comfortable throwing deep outside the numbers than working the middle of the field.
- Too often fails to give receivers a chance to make a play after the catch. High completion percentage padded by many quick screens.
- Marginal height, which will prove more of a detriment in an offense that asks him to drop back from center more often.
