Discussion continues around the LA Rams' decision to draft Ty Simpson as he struggles to adapt to the team's offense during his first training camp. Former draft scout Daniel Kelly stated Simpson should not have been in first- or second-round conversations and called him a potential career backup. Reports indicate that Simpson has not distinguished himself from third-stringer Stetson Bennett, with both players under scrutiny as they train behind veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford. Despite these challenges, Simpson is expected to learn this season and develop his skills.
