It’s hard to argue that Jared Goff doesn’t get the respect he deserves anymore.
In this year’s NFL Top 100 list for the 2025 season—which is voted on by the players—the Detroit Lions quarterback came in as the 15th-best player in the NFL. That’s a 33-player jump from last year, in which Goff placed 48th in the rankings. This is by far the highest Goff has ever ranked in the list, going back to his Los Angeles Rams days. Here’s where he’s ranked every year:
2018: 38th
2019: 32nd
2020: Not ranked
2021: Not ranked
2022: Not ranked
2023: 66th
2024: 48th
2025: 15th
Goff has ranked in the top-five in most quarterback stats for the past two years. In fact, since 2022, Goff ranks (minimum 30 starts):
- Third in passer rating (102.7)
- Fourth in yards per attempt (7.9)
- Fourth in completion percentage (68.1)
- First in passing touchdowns (96)
- t-fourth in game-winning drives (10)

There are some fair questions about how Goff will perform this year with new offensive coordinator John Morton and an offensive line that went through some shakups this offseason, but the Lions don’t seem overly concerned about the veteran quarterback—especially since he already has had a working relationship with Morton.
“I think he and Johnny are going to work well together; they have worked well together,” coach Dan Campbell said this spring. “They’ve been working this offseason together, tweaking things. They talk to each other, call one another, making sure that both are comfortable with what we’re doing. And everything we do is always going to start with the quarterback, especially Goff, so he’s going to be fine.”
Goff is the sixth Detroit Lions player to make this year’s list. Here’s where everyone else has landed:
- Amon-Ra St. Brown: 20th
- Jahmyr Gibbs: 27th
- Aidan Hutchinson: 55th
- Kerby Joseph: 71st
- Sam LaPorta: 94th
It’s fair to assume there’s a Penei Sewell-sized hole remaining in the 14 players on the countdown who have yet to be revealed.
