When Sean McVay was interviewing to become the Rams’ head coach in January, he studied plenty of film on quarterback Jared Goff, and was able to meet with the young signal-caller. Los Angeles’ top draft pick in 2016 clearly did not have the type of rookie season anyone envisioned, but McVay noticed Goff still exhibited positive traits — both on and off the field.

“The thing that I really like is, when I got a chance to interview for the job, you talk to him about how he processed last year,” McVay added. “Clearly, it didn’t go the way that we wanted it to go, but I sensed a guy that was motivated in the right ways. He didn’t lose any of his confidence, but I think it was something that has driven him to work harder moving into this year, motivated for the right reasons.”
