Jared Goff has established himself as one of the best quarterbacks in the modern era. The signal-caller has played eight seasons in the NFL and earned three Pro Bowl honors.

The Los Angeles Rams selected Goff with their No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 NFL draft. He spent five seasons with the team before joining the Detroit Lions in 2021.

Many believe that Goff's Wonderlic test score of 36/50 was one of the reasons why the Rams picked him first in the draft. His test score is considered quite high for a quarterback and it's a testament to the player's quick thinking on the field.

Goff played three seasons of collegiate football with the California Golden Bears. He racked up 12,195 yards and 96 touchdowns on 977 passes.
