A few picks later, and Jalen Ramsey (Super Bowl Champion with the Rams) would be selected by the Jacksonville Jagurs with the 5th overall pick.
At the time, no one likely thought that Goff would Ramsey would be teammates at the NFL level, but that’s exaclty what happened, and both players were instrumental to what the Rams are today. The Rams planned to grab Goff as he was taken at number one after L. A.
worked out a MASSIVE trade with the Tennesee Titans to move up and grab the one-time rookie quarterback. In his first year, Goff struggled, but to be fair, the entire organization was underperformaning under head coach Jeff Fisher. In Year 2, the Rams hired Sean McVay, and Goff ascended.
In his Year 3, Goff led L. A. to a Super Bowl.
