Brown doubts Simpson plays in 2026 or 2027 behind committed Stafford.
Derek Brown is not a believer in Ty Simpson despite the Rams selecting him 13th overall in the 2026 NFL Draft. Simpson will be Matthew Stafford's understudy, and Sean McVay made clear post-draft that the team remains committed to Stafford with a rumored contract extension in the works. This is a Michael Penix-type situation that could take longer to develop; if Stafford stays healthy, Brown doubts Simpson plays in 2026 or even 2027.

I'm not a big believer in Ty Simpson, but it seems like the Rams are after selecting him with the 13th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Simpson will be Matthew Stafford's understudy for the remainder of Stafford's career. Sean McVay was very clear in post-draft pressers that this remains Stafford's team. If Stafford stays healthy, I doubt we'll see Simpson play in 2026 or maybe even 2027.
