Stanford’s Durable, High-Usage Offensive Line Piece
Simpson’s standout trait is reliability: Stanford’s roster history shows he played in 44 of 45 possible games with 31 starts, a strong indicator of durability and trust from the staff.[3] He was listed as an offensive tackle in recruiting coverage, so his value profile is that of a long-term trench contributor rather than a flash-stat performer.[4] If you want a lineman who brings steady availability and lineup flexibility, he fits; if you need an immediate headline-grabbing star, his impact is more about consistency, toughness, and doing the unglamorous work that keeps an offense functional.[3][4]
