Ty Simpson's Rookie Heaven: Learning from Stafford

0:00On April 25th, the Los Angeles Rams grabbed quarterback Ty Simpson in the first round of the draft. This sets up the rookie to learn straight from Matthew Stafford in the same locker room. For a guy I'd, as the future franchise leader, it's a prime spot with a Super Bowl champ as his mentor. Simpson spilled in a pre-draft chat with Chase Daniel, why he's all about Stafford. He digs the under-center looks, play-action passes, and that gunslinger vibe. Stafford reads coverage is cold, and picks routes like a pro, exactly what Simpson wants to master. Rams brass shut down any take-over talk quick. Stafford stays the top dog on this squad. They stress no rush, letting the young guns sit, watch, and grow without franchise saving heat. This high pick is rare for the Rams, and Simpson fits Sean McVey scheme to a tee. His cool reads and pressure poise match with the offense craves, beyond just arm-talent. Simpson lands in rookie heaven, no panic start, just time to absorb from Stafford in McVey.

1:00When he's primed, the torch passes smooth.
