Defense Faces Challenge In New And Improved Jared Goff

During 2015, all anyone could talk about was Cal quarterback Jared Goff’s magic arm.

In his three seasons with the Bears, he threw for 12,195 and 96 touchdowns. The Los Angeles Rams, still unpacking form their move from St. Louis, traded up to No. 1 and selected Goff over North Dakota State quarterback Carson Wentz. He was to be the quarterback of the future, but his debut quickly turned sour.

Now entering his second NFL season, Goff has seen plenty of challenges. In 2016, he failed to win a single game as a starter and the Rams finished the year 4-12.
