Mays switches gears like a Ford F-150, driving his guy into the dirt once he gains leverage. If Goff had taken an extra moment to settle into the throw, the play could have resulted in Gibbs walking in for a touchdown.

Goff's pocket protection improves with Mays' elite interior blocking.

Jared Goff is the Lions' quarterback who benefits from Cade Mays' pass protection. The source's film study highlights Mays' ability to anchor against bull rushes and drive defenders into the dirt, providing Goff with a clean pocket. One play shows Mays switching gears to drive his defender after Goff steps up, with the source noting 'If Goff had taken an extra moment to settle into the throw, the play could have resulted in Gibbs walking in for a touchdown.' Another play shows Mays picking up a blitzing linebacker to give Goff enough time to deliver a 46-yard deep shot to Jameson Williams.
