Ty Simpson has never met Sean McVay, didn't talk to Les Snead before draft
Ty Simpson said after being drafted by the Rams that he's never met Sean McVay nor did he talk to Les Snead before Thursday night.
Throughout the pre-draft process, the Los Angeles Rams were linked to Ty Simpson. Whether it was Louis Riddick saying early on that they liked him or Todd McShay predicting they’d pick him in a mock draft, the connections were there. The Rams did a pretty good job keeping things in-house, though – as they usually do.
After being picked by the Rams at No. 13 , Simpson told reporters in his press conference that he “really had no clue” they were going to take him. That’s probably because he’s had minimal contact with the team, only talking to some scouts.
He said Thursday night was the first time he’s ever spoken to Les Snead. “This was my first time talking to Les tonight,” he said. “It was something that was super surreal.
I know my dad had spoken with him briefly, but this was my first contact and it was cool. I'm looking forward to meeting him and getting to know Coach. ” Furthermore, Simpson said on SiriusXM radio that he’s never met Sean McVay.
