Sean McVay's Secret Meetings with Ty Simpson

0:00On April 28, Rand's coach Sean McVeigh faced rumors he wasn't hyped about drafting quarterback Ty Simpson, 13th overall in the first round, but new. Details show their connection ran deep. Simpson dropped the truth on ESPN radio this week, saying he and McVeigh had secret meetings that lasted hours before the draft, building real rapport. On the game and quarterback play, fans and media read too much into McVeigh's low-key vibe at the post-draft presser, thinking he was checked out, but he clapped back, blaming, non-fabol stress, and respect for current starter. Matthew Stafford, the Rams played his smart, keeping their interest hidden to avoid trade drama, so Simpson stayed on script and didn't spill to anyone knowing he was. Their guy, unless someone jumped the line. Now McVeigh's locked in his quarterback of the future, and the big question lingers on the timeline for Simpson to step up behind the reigning MVP.
