Ty Simpson's Draft Secret: Rams' Smart Move

0:00On April 28, Rams quarterback Ty Simpson just dropped a plot twist on his draft story. Right after getting picked, he told everyone his chat with Rams Scouts at the Alabama Pro Day was super short. But on Monday, he came clean to ESPN radio, admitting he had a hush hush meeting with head coach Sean McVeigh way before draft night. They kept it locked down tight to fly under the radar. Simpson said the Rams were all in, but didn't want word spreading, so other teens wouldn't jump ahead and trade up for him. He stuck to the script, playing it cool, and not spilling a word during interviews. Fans and analysts picked up on McVeigh's vibe right after the pick when he looked low key sulky next to GM less need. That sparked talk that maybe the coach wasn't fully sold on Simpson as the guy. Now that the draft's dust is settled and the Rams have their man, Simpson's spilling the tee. It paints a clearer picture. McVeigh was invested all along, just playing the game smart to snag the talent without the hype train derailing their plan.
