After he was drafted, Simpson downplayed his predraft interactions with the Rams.

"It was really brief, to be honest with you," he said Thursday night. "I met with some scouts in Alabama, and that was really it. They talked to my agent, but that really wasn't much."

In reality, Simpson said Monday, he and McVay had one meeting before the draft and "talked for hours and hours."

"And it was just football," Simpson said. "It was just straight football. And it was like a kid in a candy store. Me and him are sitting there, and we're just going back and forth. You can tell the obsession he has for the game, and you can tell the love he has for quarterback play.
