Once Thought a Bust, Jared Goff Changing a Lot of NFL Minds with Super Bowl Run

Who's the best young quarterback in football?

Ask coaches and team officials around the NFL, and they respond with one name that's pretty obvious, but also one that may not be quite so apparent.

The obvious name: Kansas City's Patrick Mahomes.

The not-obvious one: the Rams' Jared Goff.

It wasn't so long ago that Goff was seen by many in the league as a bust. Drafted first overall in 2016, Goff lost all seven of his starts as a rookie while throwing more interceptions (seven) than touchdowns (five).
