Thereās been a lot of talk surrounding how Matthew Stafford feels about the Los Angeles Rams drafting his potential successor, Ty Simpson, though we still havenāt heard from the reigning MVP himself. The Rams gave him a heads-up beforehand and let him know they were going to take Simpson, but itās still reasonable to think he may not be overjoyed that they took his replacement instead of someone who can help now.
The good news is that Stafford did, in fact, reach out to Simpson and welcome him to the Rams after the draft, as did his wife. Staffordās message to the rookie quarterback was a āfunnyā one, too.
Stafford, a former Georgia Bulldog, ribbed Simpson for playing at Alabama.
āIt was funny because, of course, he was like, āWelcome, man. Iām super pumped,āā Simpson said Saturday, via Gary Klein of the L.A. Times. āHe was like, āLoved watching you play, but you played for the wrong jersey,ā because heās pumping up Georgia.ā
SEC rivalries are no joke, and now Simpson is outnumbered by two former Bulldogs in Stafford and Stetson Bennett.
āSo when I see him on Monday, Iām going to give him heck about that,ā he said. āBut itās cool. Iām super excited, especially having him and Stetson in there, Georgia guys, and me, an Alabama guy, so Iāve got to stand up for myself.ā
That being said, itās the perfect landing spot for the young quarterback. Heāll get to learn from Stafford and get coached up by Sean McVay before potentially taking the reins as the starter in a year or two (or three).

It may not be an ideal scenario for Stafford as he approaches retirement, but being the leader that he is, anything besides taking Simpson under his wing would be a surprise.
