Highlights of Jared Goff's Appearance on 'Quarterback'

Over the course of seven episodes, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff was among a select group of signal-callers featured in the second installment of the Netflix docuseries 'Quarterback'.

Here are several highlights of the 30-year-old, who was profiled along with Kirk Cousins of the Atlanta Falcons and Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals.

Goff's journey to Detroit

Early in the first episode, Goff shares poignantly how much it meant for him for the Lions management to embrace him after being blindsided by the Rams, who made the decision to trade him without telling him reasons why.

Winning a playoff game at Ford Field and having fans "wrap their arms around me" really hit home for the veteran signal-caller, who was reeling back in 2020, as he felt discarded by the team that made him a No. 1 overall pick.

Late hands

The series showcased Goff's preparation for playing one of the toughest positions in football. There are opportunities to see Detroit's leader on offense watching film at his home.

In the past, the Seahawks had Detroit's number. In primetime, Ben Johnson was able to dial up a trick play that saw Amon-Ra St. Brown toss the football to Goff for a touchdown.

It was the first time Goff had ever been in the end zone for a receiving touchdown. Goff noted he showcased great fundamentals by flashing 'late hands' in order to avoid the trailing lineman swatting the football away.

"That week, we felt good about it in the red zone, that if we could get the right defensive call, and it would just come down to Jared making a play," Johnson said. "Now, what I didn't know about him was him having those late hands so the defender didn't find a way to bat that thing down."

The second episode also highlighted Goff going 18-for-18 for 292 yards and two touchdowns during the 42-29 win over the Seahawks. In a lighthearted moment, Dan Campbell admitted feeling embarrassed he neglected to know Goff had a perfect game and did not give him a game ball immediately after the game.

'Purple Red Bus' and playing through pain

One of the challenging aspects of playing quarterback is learning all the terminolgy and adapting quickly to what defenses are trying to accomplish, all within the confines of the play clock.

Goff and his wife Christen shared how she assists to help him memorize plays each and every week.

Another of the lighthearted moments is Goff sharing with his wife that the play "purple red bus" is a halfback toss.

Goff rolled his ankle pretty badly against the Titans, which allowed viewers to see his toughness.

He noted that if he feels that he can execute his job properly, nothing would take him off of the football field. His work with his trainer Dave Martin highlighted the lengths needed to overcome injuries that pop up during the course of a season.
