I saw this as an opportunity for me to build my own legacy, and I wasn’t going to let my circumstances dictate how I was going to do that.” Jared Goff reflected on his trade to Detroit, emphasizing his desire to redefine his career and create a lasting impact with a franchise historically struggling to find success. His determination to turn setbacks into motivation showcases his growth mindset and resilience in the face of adversity.
The cold Michigan air sent a chill through Jared Goff. It was March 2021, and the former Los Angeles Rams quarterback had just hopped off a flight from California. Days prior, the Rams and the Detroit Lions completed a trade that sent Goff to Detroit in exchange for longtime Lions QB Matthew Stafford. For historians, the swap marked the first time No. 1 overall draft picks (Goff in 2016, Stafford in 2009) had been traded for each other in the common draft era.
