Alabama Crimson Tide

Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson shined in the Crimson Tide's wins over Louisiana Monroe and Wisconsin. In his last five quarters, he's completed 41 of 46 pass attempts (two drops) for 608 yards and eight total touchdowns.

But Simpson spent some time working at Raising Cane's in Tuscaloosa on Monday. Per his Instagram, the redshirt junior, who has an NIL deal in place with the renowned fast-food chain, took orders and relayed them to the kitchen, while also cracking jokes with the customers.

"This is Ty's tailgate, y'all," Simpson said in the video. "This will definitely have the boys ready for game day."
