Gruden visited Detroit Lions training camp Monday in Allen Park, where his good friend and protege John Morton is the team's new offensive coordinator. Gruden reiterated his desire to return to the sidelines as a coach.

Jared Goff has enhanced his reputation around the NFL thanks to his excellent play with the Detroit Lions. He’s played so well that Jon Gruden is comparing Goff to a Hall of Fame quarterback.

Gruden also had a lofty comparison for the talented veteran, who has revived his career with the Lions. The number Goff wears, 16, and his playing style brings memories of Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana to Gruden's mind.
