Jared Goff Opens Up in Netflix’s Quarterback: From Redemption to Regret

From the pain of his Rams exit to the joy of playoff wins at Ford Field, Goff’s journey is laid bare in a series that offers a raw and often emotional look at life behind center in the NFL. But this isn’t just a redemption story. It’s also about toughness, preparation, and the kind of leadership Detroit has embraced from its once-overlooked QB.

In one of the more vulnerable moments early in the series, Goff reflects on how blindsided he was by the Rams trading him. The hurt is still there—but so is the gratitude for a Lions franchise that gave him new life. And after winning a playoff game in Detroit, he says he finally felt the city “wrap their arms around me.”

But it’s not all serious. There are fun moments too—like learning that Goff caught his first career touchdown on a trick play and flexed “late hands” to keep a defender from knocking it down. Or watching him joke with his wife about ridiculous play names like “Purple Red Bus” (which is actually just a toss to the halfback).

The show also highlights Goff’s film room grind, his resilience after throwing five picks in a game, and the emotional weight of Detroit’s crushing playoff loss to Washington. That pick-six still eats at him—he admits he thinks about it every single morning.

From practice field scheming to fishing with his dog Quincy, this series peels back the curtain on one of the NFL’s most polarizing—and now most respected—quarterbacks.

If you weren’t already sold on Jared Goff as the face of this franchise, this might do it.
