Report: Lions Plan for Jared Goff to Remain QB1 Despite Loaded 2023 NFL Draft Class
The Detroit Lions don't consider Jared Goff to be a bridge quarterback, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
"As sources have explained, Goff is believed to be their starting QB. Period. Not just until someone else comes along," Rapoport reported.
Goff has impressed in his second season with the Lions after a trade from the Los Angeles Rams. The 28-year-old has 3,022 passing yards, 19 touchdowns and seven interceptions in 12 games this year, ranking sixth in the NFL with a 60.5 Total QBR.
After a slow start, the Lions have won four of their last five games with Goff throwing seven touchdown passes and only one interception in this stretch.
