Ty Simpson was a first-round pick for a reason. He’s athletic, throws with good accuracy and can operate a pro-style offense, which are primary reasons the Los Angeles Rams drafted him 13th overall.
He showed a little bit of everything on one play during Thursday night’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers, hitting Brennan Presley for an 11-yard touchdown to give the Rams a 10-7 lead.
Simpson felt quick pressure from the Chargers defense and escaped to his left. While on the run, he kept his eyes up and found Presley streaking across the field, hitting him with a perfect throw. And he was able to make an accurate throw because he squared his shoulders.

Simpson started the game 13-for-15 for 83 yards and one touchdown, putting together a handful of quality drives as the Rams' starting quarterback against the Chargers. This was by far his best throw, and it was perhaps his best of the preseason so far.
