The Facts: Goff is now the Lions' QB after the trade sending him to Detroit became official earlier this week. Speaking for the first time since news of the trade broke in January, he fielded some questions about his reaction to the deal and what happened in his relationship with the Rams. Goff noted that he was "disappointed for two minutes" when he heard about the deal. But then he got on the phone with Lions officials like HC Dan Campbell, GM Brad Holmes and OC Anthony Lynn. "It was immediate. [I felt like], 'OK, this is where I'm supposed to be. This is how it's supposed to go down," Goff said.

Diehards Line:The 2016 No. 1 overall pick said he has spoken to Rams G.M. Les Snead and head coach Sean McVay, but didn't delve into their conversations. "I'm so thankful for my time there. I have so many great memories, made so many great friends, have so many great former teammates from there. And there's so much I learned there," Goff said. "There's no ill will. ..." While he may not harbor any ill will, the quarterback didn't shy away from the Rams souring on him and trading him as motivation going forward. There's still the possibility that the Lions could draft their quarterback for the future at No. 7 overall in a little over a month. But if nothing else, Goff seems as motivated as ever to show he can perform at a high level in Detroit.
