With the first overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Rams have selected quarterback Jared Goff of California.
The Rams traded up to No. 1 with the idea of selecting a special player capable of pushing the franchise into being a year-in, year-out contender. By choosing Goff, Los Angeles clearly believes he can do just that.
Goff, a 6-foot-4 signal-caller, is a native of the Golden State and will continue his football career where he’s made his name. After starring at Marin Catholic High School, Goff went just down the road to Berkeley where he made an immediate impact for the Golden Bears.
