Ty Simpson's NFL Dream: Rams' Gutsy Pick

0:00On April 24, Tai Simpson just lived his NFL dream, getting scooped up 13th overall by the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night. The former Alabama quarterback drops right into a prime spot with Sean McVeigh calling the shots, and Matthew Stafford holding down the position. This was a gutsy move that shocked plenty of folks, including Simpson himself, who admitted he had zero idea was coming. Rams GM less need, and McVeigh rang him up right after the pick when official. Simpson got emotional in the green room, holding back tears on that call, but keeping his cool. He fired back with, let's go make history coach, and McVeigh hit him with, enjoy this night man, you earned it. It might be a waiting game though, as he could sit behind Stafford for a couple years before seeing real snaps. Rams fans got a fresh arm in the mix, and Simpson's ready to grind toward that starting gig.
