The Facts: Goff is carrying a little more weight on his frame this year. Goff said Tuesday that he's now up to 220 pounds. He was listed at 215 pounds in the Rams' media guide last year. "Did my best in the months we had off to continue to train hard and my body continues to grow," Goff said. "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."

As PFT's Curtis Crabtree notes, Goff went on to explain that 220 pounds is his ideal playing weight. He realized during his college career how much a little extra weight could help him when it came to staying upright in the pocket with defenders bearing down on him. Goff was sacked 26 times in just seven starts for the Rams last season, an average of 3.7 sacks per game. Rams HC Sean McVay believes the extra weight will help Goff be able to handle the hits when pressure inevitably gets to him. And it will.
