New Lions starting quarterback Jared Goff released a statement on his social media accounts thanking the city of Los Angeles and expressing excitement for a new opportunity in Detroit.
“Thank you to the entire city of Los Angeles for welcoming a 21-year-old kid with open arms and making this town feel like home. This city has shaped the man I’ve become and I will forever be grateful for the Kroenke family, my coaches, the support staff, and most importantly, my teammates for competing and fighting with me every Sunday — I’ve made memories with every one of you in that locker room that I will cherish for the rest of my life.
“To the fans, thank you for the relentless support through all the ups and downs — it has meant the world to me. From the bottom of my heart, it’s been an honor to represent the city of L.A.
“With that said, I couldn’t be more excited for this next chapter and am ready to attack this new opportunity that lies ahead.
“Detroit, here I come.”
