Jared Goff and Matthew Stafford will forever be linked as NFL quarterbacks after the Rams traded the former for the latter in 2021. Stafford has since become a Super Bowl champion and Goff’s career has been revitalized in Detroit, so it’s been a win-win for both teams.
In a recent offseason workout with Amon-Ra St. Brown, Goff took a page out of Stafford’s book with a perfect no-look pass. Stafford didn’t come up with the no-look pass, but he’s thrown them throughout his career.
Goff took the term a bit more literally, though. He didn’t just look away from his target. He closed his eyes and threw a dime to St. Brown.

Stafford may not close his eyes on his no-look passes, but he does pull them off to near-perfection in games, not just practice. He even did it in the Super Bowl on a pivotal play late in the game.
If Goff does try this on Sundays, hopefully it doesn’t end in a pick like Jimmy G.
