Jared Goff Reacts With Excitement To Getting Traded To The Lions

Back in February 2019, Jared Goff led the Los Angeles Rams to Super Bowl LIII against the New England Patriots. Less than two years later, he is completely off the team.

The former No. 1 overall NFL Draft pick was traded by the Rams to the Lions in a blockbuster package for Matthew Stafford. Detroit will also be receiving a third-round pick in 2021, a first-round pick in 2022 and a first-round pick in 2023.

NFL Network’s Mike Silver spoke to Goff about the trade and he was excited about the move.

“I’m just excited to be somewhere that I know wants me and appreciates me,” the now-former Rams quarterback told Silver.

Goff fell out of favor with the coaching staff towards the end of the year, but he did throw for 3,952 yards, 20 touchdowns and 13 interceptions.
