Stafford, who played college football at the University of Georgia, played the first 12 seasons of his NFL career with the Detroit Lions. Stafford is a former No. 1 overall pick and has one of the strongest arms in the NFL.

The Los Angeles Rams traded two first-round picks, quarterback Jared Goff, and a third-round pick to the Detroit Lions in exchange for Matthew Stafford this offseason.
