Los Angeles Rams rookie quarterback Ty Simpson did not hold back when asked if he was taken aback by the criticism he received after being selected 13th overall.

In a recent Q&A with Sports Illustrated , Simpson provided a blunt response to the backlash over the pick. " I really didn’t care, to be honest with you. Everybody can have an opinion, but it’s my job to take care of my business.

So, the Rams took me with the 13th overall pick, so now it’s my job to be the best player I can be, the best Ty I can be, and go out there and prove them right. I don’t really listen to all that. My job is to make sure to do whatever my team needs me to do to win and that’s what I’m going to do.

" Matthew Stafford extension clarifies Ty Simpson timeline Not many predicted the Rams would have taken Simpson, let alone a quarterback, in last month's draft. Nevertheless, the Rams believe Simpson could be their future franchise quarterback once Matthew Stafford decides to call his career quits. The 23-year-old quarterback will eventually be thrust into the fire.
