Remember when experts mocked the quarterbacks in the 2016 NFL Draft class?
Well, those skeptics look pretty silly right now.
One year after being selected Nos. 1 and 2 overall in the 2016 draft, Jared Goff and Carson Wentz are justifying the investments the Los Angeles Rams and Philadelphia Eagles made in them.
Goff, the No. 1 overall pick, has guided the Rams to a surprising 5-2 start and is a big reason why they lead the NFL in scoring with a 30.3 average. He’s not lighting the world on fire with his 90.3 passer efficiency rating and 9-4 touchdown-to-interception ratio, but he’s managing the game, avoiding mistakes and spreading the ball to his targets, making the Rams difficult to defend.
