Jared Goff was born and raised in Northern California. He played football at Marin Catholic High School in Kentfield, California before taking his talents to UC Berkeley for three seasons, making him the fifth quarterback from Cal to start in a Super Bowl.

After his junior year, Goff was selected by the Rams with the first pick in the 2016 NFL Draft just as the franchise returned to Los Angeles from St. Louis. The Rams picked Goff instead of fellow first-round quarterback Carson Wentz, who has done well himself with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Aside from leading his team to the Super Bowl, the 24-year-old is a two-time Pro Bowler and, in 2018, he came within 143 yards of breaking the Rams' single-season passing record.

Jared's father, Jerry, played professional baseball and spent six seasons with various MLB teams, including the Montreal Expos, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Houston Astros.

Growing up in the Bay Area, Goff was a big fan of the San Francisco 49ers. He wears the number 16 on his jersey in honor of legendary 49ers quarterback Joe Montana.

Despite working day in and day out to improve his build while at Cal, Goff measured in at a meager 6-foot-4 and 205 pounds after his junior season. He began working with a strength and speed coach who discovered that he had an enzyme deficiency that prevents him from properly breaking down proteins. Instead of using red meat and protein shakes to bulk up, Goff turns to chicken, turkey, and fish. In a very short span, he was able to gain 15 pounds while shredding 3% body fat.

Really. According to Google trends, some of the most popular searches related to Jared Goff question whether or not the quarterback had an acting career in his past or starred in "Remember the Titans."

Well after he began his career in the NFL, Jared Goff went undercover as a college transfer vying for the starting quarterback spot for the Ventura College football team. Needless to say, the players were very surprised when he took off his disguise.

"He's not very good at Madden; he can't read defenses in Madden," Cal teammate Steven Moore told 247Sports' Ryan Gorcey back in 2015. "He can't read defenses as good as he can in person. I think that’s because he thinks when he's playing quarterback, and he throws the ball, he knows he can lob it in to throw it straight, and the [virtual] quarterback doesn't do it. He gets frustrated with that type of stuff. Because he's as good as he is, it makes him worse at Madden."

He went on his first-ever hunt with fellow former Cal quarterback Mike Pawlawski. Check out the video here.
