Jared Goff Calls New OC Drew Petzing a 'Home Run Hire' for Lions

The quarterback says Petzing’s versatility will tailor the scheme to what Detroit does best.

Overview

  • Goff delivered the endorsement during Pro Bowl week, calling Petzing a “home run hire.”
  • He said he has studied Petzing’s offense on film and has begun phone sessions to align on concepts.
  • Goff noted glowing reviews from quarterbacks who played for Petzing, specifically citing Jacoby Brissett.
  • Petzing’s Arizona offenses emphasized the run early in his tenure before shifting pass‑heavy in 2025 due to injuries.
  • Following an uneven 2025 with a midseason switch in play-calling, Goff said the focus for 2026 is greater consistency and efficiency.
