Goff is among the key starters who is not in line to play in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game against the Chargers, Jalen Williams of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Goff is entering his fifth season in Detroit, looking to build off of an impressive 2024 campaign.
Excellent as a pocket passer. Has the height and field vision to see everything in front of him, and does a superb job getting rid of the ball with his quick, smooth release. Hard to pick off, as he leads his receivers and throws away from coverage with a high overhand motion. Strong-armed, throws a nice deep ball, and shows good touch. Gets sack-prone and fumble-prone, as he lacks top-end mobility. Sometimes stares down his targets, tipping the defense and limiting his targeting options. While big and tall he doesn't have large mitts for a QB, which may play a factor in his fumble issues and may hurt his ability to flip quick short passes under pressure.
Long Range Potential: Starter-level pocket passer with good upside.
