Goff is a finalist for both the NFL MVP and the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award at Thursday night’s NFL Honors.
He’s coming off one of the best seasons of his career, recording 4,629 passing yards and a career-high 37 touchdowns while leading the Lions to a 15-2 record. While Goff and Detroit fell short in the postseason, losing to the Washington Commanders in the divisional round, it was another year of tremendous growth for the team.
Goff will have plenty of work to do this offseason to stay in shape and prepare for the grind of another season, but he’ll have to balance his football responsibilities with all that comes with being a father.
Perhaps he and his wife welcoming their first child into the world will fuel another MVP-caliber season for Goff.
