Goff Excited about possibility of being Rams QB

CHICAGO – Cal quarterback Jared Goff promises the Rams haven’t told him anything official yet about being the top pick in the NFL Draft on Thursday.

“Honest truth.” he said today at a Chicago-area event for local kids, hosted by the National Football League.

That said, it goes without saying Goff would embrace the chance to be the quarterback to lead the Rams back to Los Angeles.

“It would be great. It’s a great place,” Goff said. “The city has been waiting for a professional football team for a long time now. I think the fanbase is still there, so it’ll be a great situation.”

Goff is also excited about the possibility of going first overall.

“It would be awesome. An honor,” Goff said about being the fist pick. “Something to be really proud of and something I’d take and really own and make them proud they made the right decision.”

The Rams haven’t shown their cards, but the consensus is they’ve settled on Goff over North Dakota State quarterback Carson Wentz.
