#1 pick Jared Goff is currently third on the Rams depth chart at quarterback and that has caused a few people to freak out.
He didn’t look particularly good during the preseason, but that doesn’t mean he won’t be good, it is just a lot of pressure being #1 pick in NFL draft.
Tim Couch says he can relate.
Ex #1 overall NFL draft pick Tim Couch says people need to chillax before labeling Jared Goff as a “bust” — saying it’s almost impossible to live up to #1 pick expectations … and he needs time.
“The pressure is incredible,” Couch says … “Especially being the #1 overall pick. The expectations are almost impossible to live up to really. I think fans a lot of times expect too much too soon from you.”
“You almost feel like every time you go out there that you have to prove to everyone why you were the #1 pick with every throw.”
Couch says it is important for Goff to just keep his confidence up and remember he was the #1 pick for a reason.
