Jared Goff not worried about NFL


Jared Goff knows that he's projected to be one of the first picks in the 2016 NFL Draft; however, he doesn't want to talk about it. He's solely focused on his junior year at Cal.
“I don’t know what’s going to happen. I’ve got a season to play and [the NFL], honestly to god, is not in my head right now,” Goff said, according to ESPN's Kyle Bonagura. “I don’t want to be a guy that came here and got a bunch of stats and didn’t win a bunch of games. I want to win games this year and let everything else like that take care of itself when this is all over.”
Cal coach Sonny Dykes, for one, believes that you have to take the NFL Draft projections with a grain of salt.
“I think you have to take a little of those [draft projections] with a grain of salt because if you look back at this time last year and see who the No. 1 projected picks have been -- I can remember guys who were the consensus No. 1 pick who then went on to be drafted in the sixth or seventh round,” Dykes said, according to Bonagura. “[Former UCLA quarterback Brett] Hundley was a consensus first-round pick at this time last year, some thought maybe he would be the first pick in the draft.”
While he's skeptical about the draft grades, he believes Goff is certainly worthy of his stature.
“I think it’s easy for guys to throw out names. Certainly Jared is worthy, but there’s a lot of things that have to happen between now and then for that to happen,” Dykes said. “I certainly think he has a very bright future with us and a very bright future when he’s done playing at Cal, whenever that is, and he certainly compares favorably to the guys that I’ve coached before that have gone on and played in the NFL.”
