Turf Show Times on Ty Simpson

Simpson gets preseason reps as a project QB; reps, not performance, are the priority.

Simpson will see preseason playing time for the Los Angeles Rams, with Coach Sean McVay confirming he'll play quite a bit. The source emphasizes that Simpson is a project quarterback who has barely played meaningful football since enrolling at Alabama in 2022—he didn't attempt 30 combined passes in his first three years before his lone starting season. Getting reps is the No. 1 goal for Simpson this preseason; he needs to play under fire, go through progressions, and gain experience. The source explicitly states he doesn't need to show much beyond basic competence and shouldn't be expected to dominate right away, as he's not even guaranteed to be the backup immediately.
