Rams pull a surprise at No. 13, tab Ty Simpson as Stafford’s potential successor
The Los Angeles Rams selected Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson with the No. 13 pick, a surprise after virtually no pre-draft interaction; Simpson had not spoken with coach Sean McVay or GM Les Snead before the draft and hadn’t visited the team, meeting only a few scouts at Alabama’s Pro Day. Post-pick remarks suggested he’ll compete for the backup role behind Matthew Stafford with Stetson Bennett, and Simpson expressed excitement to learn from Stafford.
