PositiveRoleJul 8, 2026
Rookie QB drafted No. 13 overall in April is learning in a veteran QB room with Matthew Stafford and Stetson Bennett IV during the offseason program. Simpson described the experience as 'drinking from a fire hydrant' but emphasized the quarterback-centric nature of the Rams offense and the importance of discipline and detail-orientation. Offensive coordinator Nate Scheelhaase expressed encouragement with Simpson from Day 1, noting his coachability, work ethic, and willingness to put in early mornings and long days. He will likely get more reps than a typical second- or third-string QB during training camp due to Sean McVay's veteran workload management, with Stafford (38, entering 18th season) on a modified schedule and skipping preseason games. McVay emphasized the offseason focus on fundamentals: communication, play-calling mechanics, voice inflection, footwork, timing, and rhythm before the snap. Simpson is likely to serve as the backup quarterback during the 2026 season, though the backup role will be contested with Stetson Bennett IV during training camp.
