Every quarterback can be guaranteed one thing in their football life—that the path they envision will NOT go as planned. For Jared Goff of the Detroit Lions nothing could be more spot on. The former Cal Bear, #1 overall NFL Draft pick and Los Angeles Rams QB joined Rhett Lewis and myself on THE PROCESS, a limited series within Y-Option fueled by 76—keeping you on the GO GO GO so you never miss a beat.
During the Lions bye week, Jared discussed his process under center, life as a new father and how he navigates the weight of being a star quarterback in the NFL.
A decade into his NFL career, Jared reflects on the transformation from big time recruit, freshman at Cal going 1-11, top draft pick to Super Bowl starter—and then to being traded and reborn in Detroit. What emerges is a portrait of a competitor who’s learned to carry less weight, see the game more clearly, and find purpose beyond the scoreboard.
I’ve known Jared since he was 16 years old at the Elite 11 and while the jersey on his back has changed three times since then he has remained humble, kind, competitive and most importantly—a man who is always giving back to the game and those who also have a passion for it.
For all of us who are navigating our own process in life around family, fatherhood, our profession and more this conversation is for you as Jared Goff reminds us all that resilience, awareness, and the art of staying grounded are ingredients for success internally even when the world expects perfection.

Much love and stay steady,
Yogi
