2021 NFL triplets rankings: Packers, Bills climb; Falcons plummet (24. Lions (Quarterback: Jared Goff -- Rank: 18 (One game: 18 | 2021 prod.: 19).  Running back: D'Andre Swift -- Rank: 26.  Pass catcher: Tyrell Williams -- Rank: 32.):  The drop-off from Matthew Stafford to Goff isn't as steep as some believe. Goff's numbers (a passer rating of 91.5, a touchdown-to-interception ratio of 107:55, a completion percentage of 63.4 and a passing yards average of 263.4 per game) since he entered the NFL in 2016 are comparable to Stafford's in that span. The difference is in supporting cast; as you can see above, Goff won't quite have superstars by his side in Detroit. Swift's ranking is down because of a likely dip in carries as he shares the backfield with Jamaal Williams. Tyrell Williams didn't play in 2020. He owns a 1,000-yard season in his career with the Chargers and a few big moments with the Raiders, but he just hasn't been consistent. That could change with Goff -- or the position of top pass catcher could be promising tight end T.J. Hockenson's spot to claim a year from now.):  https://www.nfl.com/news/2021-nfl-triplets-packers-bills-climb-falcons-plummet
