NFL.com's Bucky Brooks sees "extraordinary talent and potential" in California sophomore QB Jared Goff.
Goff showed nice toughness and gumption as a true freshman thrust into the starting lineup last year. Sure, he led the Bears to only one win, but nobody was expecting much during the transition season to new coach Sonny Dykes' aerial attack. "The super sophomore is a polished pocket passer with A-plus arm talent and a terrific feel for the position," Brooks wrote. "He is capable of making every throw in the book with zip and velocity, while also displaying the timing, touch and anticipation to make finesse throws down the field. Given more chances to toss the ball around the yard to a talented set of pass-catchers, Goff could lead the nation in passing yards as a second-year starter." May 26 - 5:29 PM

Jared Goff - QB - Golden Bears

California coach Sonny Dykes will work sophomore quarterback Jared Goff (shoulder) back slowly.

"We’ve got to be careful not to put too much on him and blow his arm out early," Dykes said Sunday. "We’re going to bring him along slowly, probably split reps early and see how he handles it, see how he feels, give him the occasional day off." Goff suffered a right shoulder injury against Stanford last season and underwent surgery in November. He purports to be 100 percent healthy. "I went through a throwing program as soon as I felt good enough to throw, which started a few months ago," Goff said.

Jared Goff - QB - Golden Bears

California true freshman quarterback Jared Goff underwent right shoulder surgery on Wednesday.

He's expected to be fully healthy for spring football. Goff started all 12 games in 2013, breaking Cal's single-season records for passing yards (3,508), total offense (3,446), passes completed (320) and passes attempted (531). "We are pleased that Jared is expected to make a full recovery and be back on the field for spring ball," head coach Sonny Dykes said. "We have confidence he can build on the promising campaign he had in his first season at Cal."

Jared Goff - QB - Golden Bears

California true freshman quarterback Jared Goff will start Saturday against Washington State.

"He practiced well," coach Sonny Dykes said. "He's had a good body of work thus far other than the beginning of the Oregon game. I felt like he deserved it." Goff entered last week's contest against the Ducks as the nation's leader with an average of 435.3 passing yards per game, but he played terrible before Dykes inserted Zach Kline in the second quarter. Dykes re-opened the QB competition between Goff and Kline this week, but most believe that to have been nothing more than a motivational ploy. "I just wanted to see how [Goff] responded," Dykes said. "I anticipated him responding the way that he has. You never how an 18-year-old will handle it when things don't go his way ... He's handled it well."

Jared Goff - QB - Golden Bears

True freshman Jared Goff has been named Cal's starting QB.

Redshirt freshman Zach Line had appeared to be the favorite, but Goff must have really impressed coaches this offseason. Junior Austin Hinder was also considered to be in the competition. "We feel that right now Jared Goff gives us the best chance to be successful as a team, but we are very fortunate to have three outstanding quarterbacks we feel we can be successful with," head coach Sonny Dykes said. The Golden Bears open their season against Northwestern and play Ohio State and Oregon in the first five weeks.
