Jared Goff is one of those little known commodities who’s stock will shoot through the roof potentially in next year’s NFL draft.

The Bears were pretty bad at times last season however, the bright spot relied in their quarterback play.

Quarterback play in which Jared Goff maximizes his opportunity and ability. The owner of 19 Cal school passing records, Goff finished fifth in the NCAA last season in passing touchdowns, passing yards, passing yards per game (331.1), completions per game (26.33), and eighth in total offense.

The Bay area product is widely accepted as being a 1st round draft pick in the 2016 NFL draft and likely will be served best by declaring and foregoing his senior year.

Goff threw for almost 4,000 yards last season, a feat only accomplished by Marcus Mariota and Cody Kessler in 2014.

With the 2nd most returning starters coming back to Berkeley, the Golden Bears may actually make a few strides to be a Pac-12 North dark horse in 2015.  That’s if, the Cal defense can be an asset to Goff.

Otherwise, Jared Goff is the best quarterback that you’ve never heard of yet.

Next: Cody Kessler
