The Los Angeles Rams have officially selected Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson in the first round of the NFL Draft, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
The move fulfills a specific evaluation made by Rams General Manager Les Snead earlier this draft cycle. Per @RapSheet, Snead previously informed Simpson’s family months ago that he viewed the Alabama signal-caller as a first-round talent. By making the selection today, Snead and the Rams front office have solidified that assessment, bringing the young quarterback to Los Angeles.
Simpson enters the professional ranks after playing under Nick Saban at the University of Alabama. Known for his physical tools and high ceiling, Simpson now joins a Los Angeles roster led by head coach Sean McVay. This selection marks a significant investment in the future of the Rams offense as they look to develop a successor at the quarterback position.
