We close out our week of Detroit Lions 2021 predictions with a prediction that isn’t about 2021 at all. Jared Goff is under the spotlight this year, having replaced Matthew Stafford as the face of the franchise. When the trade was initially made, many viewed Goff as a throw-in for the trade. A salary dump for the Los Angeles Rams and a bridge quarterback for the Lions.
But Detroit hasn’t treated him that way since arriving. Members of the Lions front office, coaches and teammates have all sung Goff’s praises. He may have struggled in his past two years with Los Angeles, but he nearly won a Super Bowl and made two Pro Bowl prior to that.
