Rams reportedly kept Ty Simpson plans a closely-held secret
The Los Angeles Rams went to great lengths to keep their interest in quarterback Ty Simpson secret ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft, conducting clandestine meetings with the player to avoid tipping off other teams. Simpson, a standout from Alabama, was ultimately selected by the Rams, who view him as a potential future starter. The team aimed to shield their plans despite widespread debate over Simpson’s draft stock. He is expected to eventually succeed Matthew Stafford as the team's starting quarterback.
