Rams Rookie Ty Simpson Receives Mentorship from Matthew Stafford

Rams No. 13 overall pick Ty Simpson is receiving direct mentorship from veteran Matthew Stafford as he prepares for his rookie season. Stafford is guiding the Alabama product on navigating the NFL environment. While the team's selection of a quarterback at No. 12—rather than a top wide receiver—surprised many analysts who expected a win-now move, the organization is clearly prioritizing a long-term plan with Simpson under the tutelage of their established veteran leader.
