The Los Angeles Rams drafted quarterback Ty Simpson from Alabama with the 13th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Simpson has started only 15 college games, raising concerns about his readiness to replace veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford, who is continuing with the Rams and is expected to play for several more years.
Key Facts
Matthew Stafford won the NFL MVP award in February and plans to play with the Rams through the 2026 season.

Historically, first-round quarterbacks with 15 or fewer college starts (like Mitch Trubisky and Anthony Richardson) have had mixed or disappointing NFL careers.
Simpson was a backup at Alabama from 2022 to 2024 before becoming the starter in 2025.
Rams head coach Sean McVay said the team currently belongs to Stafford and Simpson’s future as a starter will come “on Matthew’s terms.”
The Rams are close to extending Stafford’s contract, likely delaying Simpson’s chance to start.
The decision to draft Simpson is part of the Rams’ long-term planning beyond Stafford's playing years.
