Jared Goff: NFL voters call him the NFC North's best QB
DETROIT. NFL executives, coaches, and scouts ranked Lions quarterback Jared Goff ninth among the league's quarterbacks for 2026, the same spot he held last year. More important for Detroit: they put him ahead of every other quarterback in the NFC North, including Chicago's Caleb Williams, who cracked the top 10 for the first time, and Green Bay's Jordan Love, who got an honorable mention.
About 60 percent of ballots had Goff in the top 10. His single highest ranking was fifth. One evaluator called him a "mature pocket passer with a plus arm," praising his mechanics, toughness, and pocket presence. The same survey rated Lions tackle Penei Sewell the NFL's best at his position and put tight end Sam LaPorta in the top 10.
