Campbell likens Goff’s processing speed to Drew Brees

Dan Campbell served as an assistant head coach and tight-end coach for the New Orleans Saints from 2016 through 2020. During that span he worked directly with Hall of Fame quarterback Drew Brees, observing the veteran’s preparation and decision-making. Campbell has repeatedly referenced that experience when evaluating Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff.

In the most recent season, Goff completed 68.0 % of his passes for 4,564 yards, 34 touchdowns and eight interceptions, helping Detroit finish with a 9-8 record. He ranked second in the league in both passing yards and touchdown passes and posted a passer rating of 105.5, earning his fifth Pro Bowl selection. The previous year, his overall completion rate was 72 % and his accuracy under duress stood at 63.9 %, placing him among the NFL’s top three in that category.
