The Los Angeles Rams wrapped up a perfect preseason on Thursday night with their third straight win of the summer. They beat the Los Angeles Chargers, 20-18, led by rookie Ty Simpson's impressive performance as the starter.
This was the last chance for several players to push for a roster spot, or at the very least, a job on the practice squad. These six players stood out in a positive way, helping the Rams take down the Chargers at SoFi.
Simpson had his opportunities limited by a lopsided score last week, but he got the start on Thursday night and was given every opportunity to throw the ball. He turned in a very good performance, completing 18 of 23 passes for 119 passes and one touchdown. He avoided a turnover for the third straight game, too.
His best throw of the preseason came on an 11-yard touchdown strike to Brennan Presley, rolling out to his left and making a perfect throw to his receiver in the end zone for six points. He was confident and accurate, completing 11 of his first 12 passes. It would've been hard for Simpson to have a much better preseason than he had.
This was Connors' last opportunity to prove he deserves to make the team and he gave the coaching staff a lot to like. He caught another touchdown pass on a Texas route, finding the void in the zone and hauling in Matthew Caldwell's pass at the goal line.
