Ex-Rams star Jared Goff says he was blindsided by trade to Lions: 'Real taste of true adversity'

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay joins Colin Cowherd to discuss what fans can expect from his revamped offense.

After being the first player selected in the 2016 NFL Draft, Jared Goff experienced some highs and lows during his five-year run with the Los Angeles Rams.

Beginning in his sophomore campaign, Goff took a noticeable leap forward once Sean McVay took the Rams head coaching reins. Goff earned Pro Bowl nods in 2017 and 2018, with the latter season culminating with a Rams' Super Bowl appearance.

But Goff would ultimately quarterback the Rams for just two more seasons, as the franchise decided to trade him to the Detroit Lions in exchange for veteran signal caller Matthew Stafford.

Goff is one of the NFL quarterbacks who agreed to allow Netflix's cameras to follow him throughout the 2024 season for the streaming giant's docuseries "Quarterback." The latest season of the series premiered this week.
