Something about those backup QBs…
It wasn’t Matthew Stafford who reached out to QB Ty Simpson after the Rams shocked the world by selecting the Alabama QB 13th overall in the 2026 NFL Draft; it was his wife, Kelly.
Ty Simpson says he has not heard from Matthew Stafford but his wife “Kelly has actually texted me on Instagram and welcomed me and told me to hit her up if we need anything but I can’t wait to talk to Matthew. I’m super ecstatic because I just want to pick his brain.” pic.twitter.com/qWY62T4mSi

While seemingly insignificant, those who know the story of Matthew and Kelly in college know a much darker meaning behind this gesture.

In 2024, Kelly Stafford appeared on the “Off The Vine” podcast, where she admitted to a relationship with a backup QB at Georgia to make Matthew jealous.
She faced severe backlash online after the admission.
Now, after reaching out to Simpson post-draft despite not hearing from her MVP-winning husband, she’s once again going viral:
Stafford wife gotta chill on the backups man. https://t.co/ZFGfCft26h

If I had to bet, I’d bet that Ty Simpson won’t mention his conversations with Kelly Stafford ever again.
