The Los Angeles Rams selected quarterback Ty Simpson with the 13th pick in the NFL draft Thursday night.
Simpson becomes the likely successor in L.A. to Matthew Stafford, who is entering his 18th season. The 38-year-old Stafford, who won the NFL’s MVP award in 2025, has not reported how long he intends to play.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Rams coach Sean McVay told Stafford on Thursday of the team’s plan to take Simpson at No. 13, a pick the Rams acquired from the Falcons during the 2025 NFL draft.
At the NFL’s annual league meeting in March, McVay joked he doesn’t “ever” think about life after Stafford before saying the Rams think about it in the “short and long term.”
“Two of the greatest minds in offense, especially with Coach McVay and the quarterbacks from an offensive standpoint,” Simpson told ESPN after the Rams made the pick. “And then Matthew is just one of the greatest of all time. So, I’m looking forward to it.”
Last season at Alabama, Simpson completed 64.5% of his passes for 3,567 yards and 28 touchdowns. He entered the draft widely considered to be the second-best quarterback, behind Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza, who was drafted by the Las Vegas Raiders with the No. 1 pick.
Earlier this week, Schefter declared the Rams had been “eyeing” Simpson with the No. 29 pick before they traded that pick in early March to the Kansas City Chiefs as part of a package to acquire cornerback Trent McDuffie.
Along with Stafford, the Rams have quarterback Stetson Bennett IV on their roster. Bennett, who served as Los Angeles’ third-string quarterback the past two seasons, was a fourth-round pick in 2023.
