Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff is stepping into a new career venture outside of football during the offseason. On January 31, 2025, Goff announced through social media that he is joining an investment group led by Detroit Pistons owner Tom Gores, aiming to bring a WNBA team back to Detroit. This initiative includes other notable investors such as former NBA players Grant Hill and Chris Webber, along with Detroit Lions owner Sheila Ford Hamp. Goff expressed his excitement, calling the opportunity a fantastic one for the city and its dedicated fanbase.
Webber also shared his enthusiasm on Instagram, expressing his anticipation for the new venture, particularly as a “girldad.” He mentioned his enjoyment of coaching his daughter’s 2nd-grade basketball team but noted how excited he was to share this new development with them.
