Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff posted pictures of his family’s recent trip to California.
Quarterbacks in the NFL don’t get much opportunity for personal time during the season. But Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff took advantage of the early offseason downtime to take a trip with his wife and infant this month.
SI Lifestyle’s Cara O’Bleness reported the Goff family visited Northern California during Super Bowl weekend. The big game occurred in Santa Clara at the home of the San Francisco 49ers on February 8.
Goff posted pictures of the trip on his Instagram account this week.
The “photo dump” included five pictures of the family’s newest addition — Goff’s daughter, Romy, who was born in July.
The Instagram post featured pictures from the Pro Bowl Games, which Goff attended in California, along with shots from the family’s visit to the quarterback’s alma maters.
Goff completed 68% of his passes for 4,564 yards with 37 touchdowns and 12 interceptions to earn his Pro Bowl bid during the 2025 season. He averaged 7.9 yards per pass while leading the Lions to a 9-8 record.
Lions’ Jared Goff Shares Family Vacation Photos
It was the perfect time for the Goff family to vacation. While it’s the NFL offseason, the quarterback and his wife, Christen, were both celebrating recent career achievements.
In addition to Goff making the 2026 Pro Bowl, Christen announced on February 5 she was one of the SI Swimsuit’s February 2026 digital cover models.
To celebrate, the family visited Goff’s old stomping ground. The quarterback wrote “415” as his only caption to his Instagram post, which is the California area code where they visited.
Goff played high school and college football in the area. The quarterback’s social media post included photos of the family visiting both Marin Catholic and the University of California, Berkeley.
O’Bleness referred to the family photos as the “sweetest.”
“We’re not the only ones who loved the sweet family moments, as several of Goff’s fans, friends and followers chimed into the comments section of his latest post, which also showcased Romy mid-smile as her dad held her on his shoulders,” wrote O’Bleness.
Goff Earned Fifth Pro Bowl Nomination in 2025
As previous mentioned, Goff was already going to Northern California during early February because of the Pro Bowl games.
During the 2025 regular season, Goff earned his third Pro Bowl nomination with the Lions. He also made the All-Star game with the Los Angeles Rams twice.
Goff has made the Pro Bowl in three of the past four seasons, including each of the past two.
The Lions quarterback didn’t always look like a Pro Bowler based on what his offense was producing. The unit was a lot more inconsistent during 2025 than 2024.
In 2024, the Lions were first in points and second in yards across the league.
But based on the play-calling and offensive line play, Goff was arguably better in 2025.
The Lions quarterback told reporters at the Pro Bowl Games that it’s the goal of the Detroit offense to be more consistent next season. The unit will have to do that under a new offensive coordinator.
The Lions hired Drew Petzing to replace John Morton as OC.
