The part of Lions quarterback Jared Goff’s career that everyone seems to forget about, his five seasons with the Rams after they drafted him No. 1 overall, would’ve made him the most celebrated Bears quarterback in recent history.
Long before Ben Johnson got his hands on him when they were with the Lions, Goff went to two Pro Bowls and helped the Rams make the playoffs three times — including a run to the Super Bowl in just his third season. He would’ve held the Bears’ top three spots in yards passing.
That success, combined with the intel extracted from four seasons with Sean McVay, gave Johnson quite a starting point when he began working with Goff in Detroit.
