Mike McCarthy Hire Puts Ty Simpson on Steelers’ Radar

After hiring Mike McCarthy, ESPN’s Matt Miller predicts the Pittsburgh Steelers could consider Ty Simpson at No. 21 in the 2026 NFL Draft. Miller wrote Simpson’s pocket passing “would fit well with McCarthy’s West Coast offense,” even if Aaron Rodgers returns. Simpson, who threw for 3,567 yards, 28 TDs, and five picks in 2025, is widely considered QB2 in the draft behind Fernando Mendoza.
