California Golden Bears quarterback Jared Goff repeatedly flashed his pro potential in the program's Bear Raid scheme over the past three seasons, so it shouldn't come as a surprise the junior has decided to declare for the 2016 NFL draft.
Goff made the decision official on Thursday after ESPN.com's Joe Schadwas the first to report Goff intended to enter his name in next spring's selection process.
The three-year starter posted gaudy numbers every season of his collegiate tenure, which was highlighted by a strong junior campaign.
A year after completing 62.1 percent of his passes for 3,973 yards, 35 touchdowns and seven interceptions as a sophomore, Goff exploded for 4,719yards, 43touchdowns and 13interceptions as the Golden Bears went 8-5 after opening the season with five straight wins and rising as high as No.
