Jared Goff Declares for the NFL Draft

We take a look back at Jared Goff's career, and why he's so coveted by NFL teams ...

California quarterback Jared Goff is headed for the NFL. He announced his decision -- which, according to sources, has been made for weeks, now -- on Thursday at a press conference in Berkeley.

"After much deliberation with my family and close friends, I've decided to forego my senior season and declare for the 2016 NFL Draft," Goff said, fighting back tears. "This is going to be hard."

He read a statement, twice having to stop and collect himself.
