The Facts: In the 12 years after the Lions made Stafford the No. 1 overall selection, the quarterback called Detroit home. Now, he has a new home, a new team, a new outlook. Stafford told SiriusXM NFL Radio on Monday that change has "reenergized" him. "I'm excited about the opportunity," Stafford said. "Not only from a family standpoint but really from a football standpoint. I'm excited about being a part of this Rams organization that's had so much recent success, and I can't wait to get the football season going and get all that going"

Diehards Line: The Rams acquired Stafford from the Lions earlier this month for Jared Goff as well as the Rams' third-round draft selection this year and the Rams' first-round draft choices in both 2022 and 2023. NFL offseason rules have prevented Stafford from spending much time with Sean McVay yet, but he can't wait to talk ball with the Rams coach. "He's a young guy. He's a passionate guy," Stafford said. "He knows a ton of football and really enjoys talking the game. Obviously, we're a little bit limited in our ability to get together at the moment, but it's something that I am really looking forward to. ..." Stafford, 33, earned his only Pro Bowl berth in 2014 but has passed for 45,109 yards with 282 touchdowns and 144 interceptions. The Lions were 0-3 in the postseason with Stafford as the starter. The Rams played in Super Bowl LIII, losing to the Patriots 13-3.
