"You're good enough for (expletive) Detroit, Jared Goff!"
In 2021, when Goff was traded to the Detroit Lions and "sent to die" by the Los Angeles Rams for quarterback Matthew Stafford, few could've imagined head coach Dan Campbell uttering those words during a locker room celebration. Even fewer could've imagined that celebration coming after Goff led the Lions to their first playoff win in over 30 years against Stafford and the Rams.
Most fans and analysts figured Goff to be a bridge to the next generation, but Campbell believed he could be so much more.
