Rams' No. 13 Pick Ty Simpson Embraces Learning Behind Matthew Stafford

Ty Simpson said the Rams' quarterback room has been "super, super fun," calling time with veteran starter Matthew Stafford a major part of his early NFL transition.
The No. 13 overall pick said he is also studying receivers Davante Adams and Puka Nacua in film sessions, treating their habits and route work as a development advantage.
Simpson framed Los Angeles as an ideal landing spot because he can learn simultaneously from Stafford on the field and from Sean McVay's offensive system.
The comments address questions that followed the Rams' decision to spend a first-round pick on a quarterback despite already having an established veteran starter.
With Matthew Stafford playing at an MVP level, is first-round pick Ty Simpson destined for a multi-year wait on the sidelines?
Can a rookie with noted deep-ball issues master Sean McVay’s explosive offense, or will the system expose his biggest weakness?
