Joey Harrington Defends Jared Goff: ‘He’s Taken Detroit Where It’s Never Been’
Former Lions quarterback Joey Harrington knows firsthand how tough it is to lead Detroit, which is why he thinks Jared Goff deserves way more credit than he gets.
Speaking at the NFL Combine, Harrington praised Goff for guiding the Lions to back-to-back NFC North titles, a 15-2 season, and the franchise’s deepest playoff run ever. Despite recent criticism over Detroit’s playoff exit, Harrington called Goff “one of the best quarterbacks in the league” and dismissed any talk of the Lions’ Super Bowl window closing.
Harrington, who played four seasons in Detroit, said the city and fanbase were always ready for a winner—it just took the right leadership. Now, he’s enjoying watching Goff and the Lions accomplish what so many before them couldn’t.
