Rams’ Winners & Losers: Ty Simpson is bringing the future
Turf Show Times • • sports
Key Points:
- Ty Simpson impressed in his Los Angeles Rams debut, completing 21 of 25 passes for 190 yards and two touchdowns, showing poise, accuracy, and mobility despite playing with third-string offensive linemen.
- Stetson Bennett, expected to be Matthew Stafford’s backup, was overshadowed by Simpson after only two drives, raising questions about the Rams' quarterback depth chart.
- Rookie running back Dean Connors and defensive back Nick Andersen stood out with notable performances, suggesting they could rise on the depth chart and contribute significantly, especially on special teams.
- Jarquez Hunter struggled to make an impact, with limited production and potentially falling behind other running backs like Ronnie Rivers and Connors.
- Max Klare and Desjuan Johnson performed well but remain in developmental roles, indicating they may see limited regular-season action despite their draft status and previous contributions.
