A former defensive tackle at the University of Alabama pleaded guilty Monday to defrauding investors of millions of dollars by putting on makeup and wigs to impersonate NFL players.

Among quarterbacks, Simpson is second only to Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza, who represents a overlooked class of athletes.
