Simpson's NFL Journey Begins with Rams

0:00On April 25th, the Los Angeles Rams just snagged Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson in the first round, 13th overall pick. This kid from Tennessee, self-reclamed Redneck, flew in after midnight, buzzing on pure adrenaline with barely two hours of sleep. He's got just 15 college starts under his belt, but he's here to grind in the NFL. Earlier this week, that draft call flipped his world. Simpson spent three years on the bench at Alabama, learning behind stars like Bryce Young and Jayla Milro, irony hits hard. He bombed in a playoff loss at Sofie Stadium last year, throwing for 98 yards in a pick. Now that's his new home turf. Folks are loving his vibe. Simpson's all about no big expectations, straight from Coach Savin's playbook, focused on the process, not the hype. He's a deep Christian, crediting faith and family for carrying him through doubts and their Rose Bowl heartbreak. He mates like Quinn Lake already hit him up, and even Matthew Stafford's wife welcomed him first.

1:00Word from Simpson is he soaking up Shaw McVeigh's detail, heavy offense, which matches what he ran at Alabama. He studies Stafford's footwork and conviction, like a blueprint, calling him an assassin. Ready to compete with backup sets and Bennett, he's pumped for the room and those relationships. One day at a time, that's his mantra. The day kicks off his pro career, tomorrow makes two. Bed on himself, prove it daily, and build something lasting in LA.
