He threw for just under 4000 yards and did so fairly efficiently, completing over 62 percent of his passes. While he did throw 11 interceptions, he also threw for 24 touchdowns. If it wasn’t for the two games where he was inactive, one of which was for injury and the other because it was the last game of the season, Stafford would have easily thrown for over 4000 yards. Only 10 quarterbacks hit that mark this season, and a couple of them just Matthew Stafford came up big for the Los Angeles Rams this season and was a big…

Tuesday’s press sessions were for coaches and GMs only, while Wednesday’s sessions were the first for draft prospects. Defensive linemen were the first up for the week.
