## Resource

The Rams stunned the NFL world by drafting QB Ty Simpson 13th overall—despite already owning MVP QB Matthew Stafford. Critics slammed the move, calling it a wasted pick that could’ve addressed immediate needs. But Simpson’s staying calm, embracing the role as a developmental QB behind Stafford and Davante Adams. With time to learn and grow without pressure, he’s positioning himself to prove doubters wrong—and could become the franchise’s hidden gem if he absorbs lessons from the pros.
