The Los Angeles Rams traded quarterback Jared Goff to the Detroit Lions ahead of the 2022 NFL season in return for Matthew Stafford. But he has since established himself as a legitimate star for the Lions, and it sounds like he has the respect of his teammates.
During a recent interview, Detroit Lions young star tight end Sam LaPorta did not hold back his praise for Jared Goff as he spoke extremely highly of his consistency in his leadership.
“I say this about Jared frequently, but he’s the same person every day,” LaPorta said according to Pro Football Talk. “You’re not going to find someone more consistent than Jared Goff in our building. And for him to be leading the team, you need to have consistency. You’re going to have good and bad days in the NFL — it’s just the nature of the game and how competitive this league is. But, he shows up every day, he works, and he sets the example and he sets the tone in the building.
“To be able to follow him and the example he sets for this organization, it just trickles on down from there — really amazing. And I’m so happy for him and his extension and his security here in Detroit for another couple of years.”
Clearly, Goff has made quite an impression on the team.
