Offensive Tackle
2nd Round
Colorado State
"An All-Western Athletic Conference choice, Simpson starred in this year's East-West Shrine Game in San Francisco where he attracted the attention of pro scouts.
He began his collegiate career at McCook Junior College in Nebraska before moving to Colorado State as a defensive tackle. He was switched to offensive tackle as a sophomore and started for three seasons at left tackle. Teamed with Mark Mullaney, a first round choice of the Vikings, Simpson helped Colorado State to that No. 1 ranking nationally in pass offense with solid pass blocking all season long. As a three-year letterman at Colorado State, he was also elected co-captain his senior year and displayed outstanding leadership qualities.
Born in Pittsburgh, Simpson played his high school football at Wilkinsburg High School in that city and also earned letters as a shot-putter on the track team. He still resides in his hometown."
