Albert Breer

Like it's seven o'clock, you're at the draft in Pittsburgh and you have no idea if you're going to go in the first round.

And now you're going to go play for Sean McVay and you're the 13th pick.

It's a pretty good result.

And from what I need, from what I understand, I think he needs it.

You know, like it sounds to me like, you know, so, you know, just talking to, you know, the coaches and scouts over the last couple of months about him, it feels to me like Brent Venables unlocked something when Oklahoma.

Oklahoma played Alabama in the 10th game of the year.

And up until then, Simpson had played really well.

But Venables found some sort of flaw in their protection scheme.

They already couldn't run the ball.

And now he's playing without a running game and he's getting the crap knocked out of him.

And so that wound up speeding him up.

I think that's where the inaccuracy started.

The people that I've talked to, there's like a little bit of an anxiety in the kids.

So his feet got sped up.

And, you know, I talked to an offensive coordinator about him two days ago who doesn't need a quarterback.

I think he'd respect if he heard who it was.

And he said to me, he's like, so much of this kid's success is going to depend on where he goes.

Because you do need to rebuild his footwork after what happened at the end of last year.

But if you can...

He did a lot of NFL things and made a lot of NFL throws at Alabama.
