 Fisher was impressed with Goff after two days of minicamp in
Oxnard, Calif., for rookies and undrafted free agents.
"We've given him a lot more information than we did at the private
workout and then that we did here at our meeting, and he's handled
it without any problem," Fisher told reporters Saturday.
"And that's the impressive thing. I passed him last night walking to
the room and he was leaving the meeting room at 10 o'clock. He's
that kind of guy. He'll spend the time. It's important to him.
Goff, the former California standout, will be away from the team --
per NFL rules -- with Cal's exams ongoing for the next week.
Goff was the lone quarterback as the Rams began a two-day rookie
orientation and minicamp on Friday, taking every snap.
"It's nice to get all of them right now," Goff said Friday. "It's
nice to get as many as you can to get used to it."

Garrett said Saturday. "Like with all those guys, it's a day-by-day,
week-by-week thing. But he's had no setbacks, but he really
continues to get better and better."

Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Tyreek Hill says he
understands fans' negative reaction about his domestic violence
arrest.
The Chiefs selected Hill in the fifth round of the 2016 NFL Draft
and defended choosing a player who pleaded guilty to punching and
choking his pregnant girlfriend in a 2014 incident.
Hill practiced for the first time on Saturday as the Chiefs began
three-day rookie minicamp.
"Those guys, those fans, they have every right to be mad at me,"
Hill, who is on probation in Oklahoma, told ESPN.com.
"I did something wrong. I just let my emotions get the best of me
and I shouldn't have (done) it. They have every right to be mad. But
guess what? I (plan) to come back and be a better man and be a
better citizen and everything will take care of itself.''
Hill was kicked off the team at Oklahoma State after being charged
with domestic violence, ending up at Division II West Alabama.
