NFL Draft Preview - Jared Goff, Cal Quarterback

His high school coach at Marin Catholic said Jared Goff was an NFL quarterback. Three years at Cal proved him right. Goff threw for over 12,000 yards and 96 touchdowns, establishing himself as one of the premier quarterbacks in the 2016 draft class.

Goff's precision in tight windows separates him from other prospects. Teams like the Browns, Eagles, Bears, Rams, and his hometown 49ers all have quarterback needs and high draft picks to address them. A Bay Area kid leading the 49ers would make for a compelling narrative—if San Francisco decides to pull the trigger at number seven.
