Two years ago at this time, Jared Goff was still processing being part of a blockbuster trade. The Los Angeles Rams, the team that made Goff the No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 NFL draft, sent him packing to Detroit as part of a hefty package to acquire Matthew Stafford.

At the Pro Bowl, Goff rubbed elbows with a quarterback who is about to go through the same offseason ordeal he did two years ago.
