The Saints scouts will surely do their homework on another quarterback in Cal’s Jared Goff who like the aforementioned Cook is currently considered a first round pick.

Goff has shattered records in career Pac-12 stats with being in the top ten in categories like pass completions, pass attempts, passing yards, total touchdowns, and passer efficiency rating.
While currently a junior, Goff will have a big decision to make but with his current draft projections he’s likely gone for 2016.

In ten games for 2015 he has 97 total tackles with 4.5 for a loss and one interception during four defended passes.
Also for his 2015 season, Martinez has been in the top five for the Pac-12 in solo, assisted, and total tackles…..
