Jared Goff plans to leave Cal to declare for the 2016 NFL Draft.
Goff, a 6-foot-4, 215-pound junior out of Novato, California, passed for 4,719 yards with 43 touchdowns and 13 interceptions and a completion percentage of 64.5 in 2015.
ESPN's Todd McShay projects Goff as the second-best quarterback in the 2016 draft class, behind Memphis' Paxton Lynch. Goff is No. 10 on the Big Board of ESPN's Mel Kiper, who cites Goff's "special arm," "good movement" and "anticipation."
The Tennessee Titans, Cleveland Browns and San Diego Chargers are tied for the worst record in the NFL at 3-10.
One of these three teams are likely to end up with the first overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft.
The first tiebreaker for the draft order is strength of schedule, with the team that played the weakest schedule picking first. That favors the Titans, who play in the AFC South and therefore have an easy schedule.
Cleveland has the toughest remaining schedule of the three teams.
Here’s how the current draft order looks, heading into Sunday:
1. Titans, 3-10, .471 strength of schedule
2. Browns, 3-10, .512
3. Chargers, 3-10, .521
4. Ravens, 4-9, .482
5. Cowboys, 4-9, .547*
6. 49ers, 4-9, .547*

Robert Nkemdiche issued a formal apology Tuesday, one day after being charged with marijuana possession as a result of his fall at a hotel near Atlanta.
"I want to apologize to Rebel nation, my teammates and coaches for my actions last weekend," Nkemdiche said in statement released by the school. "I made a mistake and put myself in an environment that doesn't reflect who I am as a person."
Nkemdiche is a projected first round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft should he declare and leave Ole Miss.
Robert Nkemdiche was charged with possession of marijuana after falling out of a hotel window in Atlanta.
Nkemdiche is a projected top pick if he leaves Ole Miss for the NFL Draft this year.
According to the police report, cops responding found his room “in complete disarray,” along with “seven rolled marijuana cigarettes.”
Nkemdiche was conscious and stable when police and paramedics arrived, and was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital, but then was released and taken into police custody.
