Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, under a recently signed extension through at least 2027, has been fielding questions from rookie Ty Simpson during spring practices. Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reported the details on Monday. Simpson, selected 13th overall in the 2026 NFL Draft, said he hopes he is not annoying the veteran while appreciating the guidance.
Stafford signed a contract extension this past spring that could keep him atop the Rams depth chart through at least the 2027 season. The 38-year-old earned MVP honors in the 2025 regular season. The Rams acquired pass-rusher Myles Garrett from the Cleveland Browns in early June.
As of Monday afternoon, DraftKings Sportsbook listed the Rams as +550 favorites to win Super Bowl LXI, with the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens tied for second at +1000 odds. Simpson said he has come to understand why Stafford earned league MVP honors last year. "Everything he does, he’s so just aware of everything, aware of how everything works," Simpson said.
He added that he appreciates both Stafford and backup Stetson Bennett IV for answering his questions.
