Jared Goff’s first season in the NFL wasn’t as simple and quiet as he probably thought it’d be. The Rams were moving to Los Angeles and the stars of HBO’s “Hard Knocks,” putting the team at the center of attention in the football world. Goff, being a rookie quarterback and the first overall pick, had cameras on him fairly often, putting him under the microscope from Day 1 of camp.

This year, things are much different. All the hoopla surrounding the Rams’ move west has died down and Goff’s expectations aren’t as astronomical as they were a season ago when he was the No. 1 pick in the draft. Unsurprisingly, he loves not having cameras all over the facility filming his every move.

“It’s great, man. It’s a lot different. It’s a lot different,” Goff said on the “Dan Patrick Show” Monday. “You know, those guys were good to us, but not having to look over your shoulder or think about ‘what am I listening to with my music?’ or ‘what am I saying in the meeting rooms?’ You don’t have to think about any of that, you can just be yourself. It’s fun.”

There are still big hopes for Goff in Los Angeles as he enters his second year, but his actions aren’t broadcasted every week on HBO like they were in 2016. That should calm his nerves a bit, not having to worry about embarrassing himself on television.

“Oh yeah, all the time,” Goff said of worrying about having an embarrassing moment in front of the cameras. “You have to kind of think about it. You have some sort of perception that you’d like people to have of you, so you’re thinking about, ‘Would this make the show?’ You sure hope not. They say we had final cut until we don’t, but it was overall a good experience.”
