he Detroit Lions are in their offseason, so players have some additional time to start other endeavors outside of football and, on a personal level, live a little. Lions quarterback Jared Goff is using his time off to embark on a new endeavor, and this one has nothing to do with the NFL.

On Friday, January 31, Goff took to social media to announce a special endeavor he’s taking on with some major Detroit names. This guy may be from California, but he’s a Detroiter for life.
