Jared Goff

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff is one of the top signal callers in the NFL. Goff had an incredible start to his career after being the top overall pick of the Los Angeles Rams in 2016. He made back-to-back Pro Bowls in 2017 and 2018, also leading the Rams to the Super Bowl in 2018. Goff was dealt to the Lions in a blockbuster deal that sent Matthew Stafford to Los Angeles.

Prior to jumping to the pros, Goff was a college star at the University of California. In 2015, as a junior, Goff led the Bears to a 7–5 regular season finish, clinching Cal's first winning season since 2011. Through 12 regular season games, Goff surpassed his own single-season records for passing yards (4,252), touchdown passes (37) and total offense (4,260). Going into the season, Goff was projected as the top quarterback for the 2016 NFL draft by Mel Kiper and Todd McShay. On November 14, 2015, Goff threw for 453 yards and six touchdowns in a 54–24 victory over Oregon State, earning Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week honors for the first time. Two weeks later, Goff set a new Cal single-game record with 542 passing yards in a 48–46 come-from-behind victory over Arizona State, earning Player of the Week honors for a second time. In the 2015 Armed Forces Bowl, Goff threw for six touchdown passes and 467 yards, leading the Bears to a 55–36 victory over Air Force. In 2015, Goff set a new Pac-12 single-season passing-yardage record (4,719), and also set a new conference record for touchdown passes in a season (43).
