Jared Goff ranks among top quarterbacks in NFL coaches' survey

Jared Goff of the Detroit Lions tied for eighth place in The Athletic’s 2026 quarterback tiers, as ranked by 50 NFL coaches and executives. This position reflects Goff's rise since joining the Lions, after a 2025 season where he threw for 4,564 yards, 34 touchdowns, and only eight interceptions. Goff's consistent performance has reshaped perceptions of him from merely a salary cap consideration in the Matthew Stafford trade to a respected franchise quarterback. The ranking places him in Tier 2, just behind Dak Prescott and ahead of players like Jordan Love and Brock Purdy. Despite not being regarded as among the top four quarterbacks, Goff's efficiency and decision-making have solidified his status in the league.
