Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has come a long way since being drafted first overall by the Los Angeles Rams in 2016. From facing challenges as a rookie to leading the Rams to a Super Bowl appearance and now steering the Lions to new heights, Goff’s perseverance and adaptability have solidified his place as one of the NFL’s top quarterbacks.
Goff’s college performance at the University of California, Berkeley, earned him the top spot in the 2016 draft. Although his rookie year with the Rams was tough, he found success under head coach Sean McVay, leading the team to two NFC West titles and a Super Bowl appearance.
In 2021, Goff was traded to the Detroit Lions, where he has proven his critics wrong. By 2023, he had led the Lions to a 12-5 record and their first division title in three decades. In the 2024 season, Goff threw for 4,629 yards and 37 touchdowns, leading Detroit to the NFC’s top seed.
- Goff’s net worth is estimated to be around $100 million, thanks to his successful NFL career and various endorsement deals. In 2024, he signed a four-year, $212 million extension with the Lions, with $170 million guaranteed. He also earns an additional $2 million annually from endorsements with major companies like Nike, Red Bull, and BMW. Off the field, Goff has built a strong brand, including his clothing line, “JG16,” which launched in 2019 and funds scholarships. He has also invested in real estate, owning luxury homes, including a $10.5 million mansion in Manhattan Beach. Goff is engaged to actress and model Christen Harper, whom he proposed to in 2022.
