Rams QB Jared Goff has added about 10 pounds, but will it help?

By Alden Gonzalez

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- Jared Goff likes to say that he has gained 10 pounds for every year of his life. He's 22 now, heading into his second season in the NFL, and he is carrying about 220 pounds on him these days, 10 more than he did as a rookie.

The trend continues.

"I hope it slows down at about 23, 24," Goff said with a smile. "I think I've been doing a good job just trying to continue to get strong and just continue to work as hard as I can."

The Los Angeles Rams' official website lists Goff at 6-foot-4 and 223 pounds after listing him at 215 last year. He came into the NFL relatively slight, then absorbed 25 sacks over his final six games -- far more than anybody else during that stretch -- and bulked up. Goff said that the added weight was merely a function of him continuing to grow into his body, not a reaction to anything that occurred last season. But it should only help.
