00:00 When the LA Rams traded Jared Goff to the Detroit Lions prior to the 2021 season, I
00:09 think we all looked at it as sort of the end of the line for the former Cal star quarterback.
00:14 Goff had been a number one pick by the Rams, helped them to the Super Bowl, but they clearly
00:19 gave up on him and shipped him off to the NFL's worst franchise.
00:24 But Goff never said a bad word about the trade.
00:26 He never had a bad word to say about moving to Detroit.
00:29 In fact, he looked at the glasses half full and said all the right things.
00:34 Now, whether he believed it at the time, we don't really know, but he has grown into a
00:38 popular player for the Lions and he's helped the team improve every year he's been there.
00:43 They were 12 and five and made the NFC championship game last season.
00:48 And Goff says the trade is the best thing that's ever happened to him.
00:51 He's due for a new contract.
00:53 He's going to make a lot of money, he already has, and he's on a team that has a chance
00:58 to compete again for the Super Bowl.
