Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff sure doesn’t seem too concerned about the potential for the team to select another QB in the 2022 NFL draft. Goff was unflappable when asked if he’d be upset if the Lions brought in competition or asked him to be a mentor to his eventual successor as the starter.
“No, whatever it is I trust those guys (GM Brad Holmes and head coach Dan Campbell),” Goff said this week. “They’ve expressed a lot of confidence in me and about where I’m at, where I’m at with them, and where we’re headed. I’m excited about it. But if anything were to happen there, no concern. I trust the guys upstairs.”
There has been considerable speculation about the Lions drafting a quarterback to groom under Goff. Liberty’s Malik Willis, Sam Howell from North Carolina and Cincinnati’s Desmond Ridder are the usual suspects. Goff didn’t bristle at all when prodded about if he’d embrace being a mentor.
