Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff had a very interesting 2021-22 NFL season. Although he struggled early on, the 27-year-old actually ended up finishing his inaugural campaign in the Motor City reasonably decently – leading his squad to victory in each of his last two starts.
On the year Goff recorded 3,245 yards, 19 touchdowns, eight interceptions, and six lost fumbles. However, in his last four games he amassed 965 yards and nine touchdowns with just two interceptions – logging a 103.3 passer rating in the process.
Goff’s late season effort was not lost on team general manager Brad Holmes.

“You talk about will, talk about grit, that’s why he fit from the very get-go,” Holmes said.
“And the success he had late, it all came from that — because he had rough patches. He had some adversity that he had to fight through. And I give him all the credit in the world that he stayed the course. And some tweaks were made, some changes were made, some reinforcements and players emerged. But he played really good football.
“And it wasn’t a surprise that he played good football, I guess because of my history with him. I’ve seen him play some of his best football. So that wasn’t a surprise. But I was more proud [that] he showed that resiliency and mental toughness to push through. And he played good football the last half of the season.”
So all in all, things are trending upward for Goff. And not just on the football field.
Off the gridiron, his girlfriend Christen Harper is one of the biggest emerging names on the modeling scene. This week Sports Illustrated released her newest batch of provocative photos:
