Los Angeles Rams: Jared Goff honored by making All-Under-25 team

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff continues to receive high praise heading into the 2018 season.

Around this time last year, one of the biggest questions surrounding the Los Angeles Rams was whether Jared Goff was the right answer for Sean McVay‘s offense following a horrendous rookie campaign.

In Goff’s defense, the Rams didn’t exactly do the best job at providing their young quarterback with the proper offense as a rookie in 2016 when looking at the poor protection from the offensive line along with a weak receiving corps.

However, as frustrating as this was to see at the time, Los Angeles also deserves credit for making the necessary adjustments before Goff’s sophomore campaign.

From landing one of the league’s top offensive lineman in free agency with Andrew Whitworth to a strong group of receivers to work with thanks to players like Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp, Goff saw a complete turnaround last season.

Not only did the former California star play a key role in the Rams winning the NFC West, but also Goff earned his first trip to the Pro Bowl.

Now, expectations are higher than ever for Goff and Los Angeles, as this team has taken the necessary steps this offseason to build an even stronger team to give them a better chance of competing for a Super Bowl run.

Compared to two years ago, nobody expected Goff to be in this kind of position heading into his third season, and to add another honor to the list of accomplishments, the Rams quarterback was recently named to Elliott Harrison All-Under-25 Team.

Watching Goff complete 28 touchdown passes during his first full season as the starter in 2017 with just seven interceptions is just one of many reasons why he’s worthy of a list like this.

Best part is, when seeing how effective Goff was during his first season playing under McVay’s offense, one can only imagine what could be in store for 2018 since he seems to only be scratching the surface.

With a year of experience under his belt, many expect Goff to elevate his game to a whole new level to give Los Angeles a much better chance of living up to the hype. And who knows, maybe Goff will play well enough to earn the same honors next year, but for now, it’s best to focus on the upcoming season.
