Jared Goff ascended to new quarterback heights with Ben Johnson as Detroit Lions offensive coordinator. But per the new Chicago Bears head coach Johnson, another Lions star was “throwing a better football” than Goff. He made this revelation during the NFL Combine.

Johnson fired the insane stray at his former QB while appearing on NBC Sports’ Pro Football Talk Thursday. The now former Lions offensive coordinator revealed Pro Bowl left tackle Penei Sewell was throwing dimes.
“The best part of that was he threw a dime every single time. He was better than some other people,” Johnson said, before name dropping Goff. “He was pretty darn good throwing on the move.”

Sounds like Johnson missed out on inserting Sewell in special passing situations behind center. But Johnson believed the 335-pounder threw a sharper pass compared to Goff.
The Sewell revelation is one potential “bulletin board” material for Goff and the Lions. But Johnson sounds like he threw more shade at Goff.

Johnson took to the podium at the NFL Combine, his first combine as a head coach. He’ll get the chance to work with another top overall pick in Caleb Williams for the rival Bears.
