His talents were evident throughout the entirety of his career, but his feet were stuck to the floor known as the Detroit Lions of the late 2000s and 2010s. And despite the organization seemingly attempting to remain in perpetual turmoil, Stafford emerged as one of the best quarterbacks of his era. He topped 5,000 yards in 2011, which marked his first of seven consecutive seasons with at least 4,000 passing yards. As soon as Stafford left Detroit, he won a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sbnation.com\/super-bowl\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Super Bowl<\/a>, despite never winning a playoff game prior to being traded to the Los Angeles Rams. While the prime years of his career likely featured several glasses of scotch, his play has aged like a fine wine as he continues to keep the Rams in the Super Bowl conversation at age 37.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/rams\/los-angeles-poona-ford-sean-mcvay-byron-young-jared-verse\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">This Rams\u2019 Position Group is One of the NFL\u2019s Best<\/a> (si.com)<\/p>\n<p id=\"5eWhd1\">\u201cMany expected the Rams\u2019 defensive line to fall off following Aaron Donald\u2018s retirement, but the unit has remained above average thanks to its young players, including a pair of impactful rookies.
