The NFL preseason is here, giving teams a chance to showcase their rookie talent to fans while gathering valuable information on those players in their first professional snaps. Preseason football doesn't carry the same weight as the regular season, but it provides an opportunity to develop against an opposing team.
The Los Angeles Rams had a rookie debut that won't see the regular-season field for the foreseeable future. That rookie is, of course, 13th overall pick Ty Simpson. The rookie quarterback played the final three quarters in their entirety.

Needless to say, Simpson had a strong outing as the Rams won 20-12. He led the offense to a majority of its scoring, including two touchdown passes. Though the pick was polarizing at the time, his performance showed why the Rams believed he was worth the investment.
