Goff, Wentz working with same QB coach this offseason

Charles LeClaire / USA TODAY Sports

If Jared Goff and Carson Wentz were tired of being compared to each other, they should have picked different sources of developmental help this offseason.

Both the first- and second-overall picks from the 2016 NFL Draft will be working with quarterback coach Adam Dedeaux of 3DQB this offseason, according to Alden Gonzalez and Tim McManus of ESPN.

Dedeaux is a known associate of quarterback guru Tom House, who Goff will also be working with. Dedeaux and House have worked with Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Matt Ryan, Eli Manning, and Marcus Mariota, among others.

"I've seen the benefits," Goff's offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur said Thursday. "What those guys do is pretty valuable, and it's not always obviously with the time constraints that we can work with these guys.

"And I think they offer some things that maybe we can't as coaches, from just a strength and conditioning standpoint in terms of how these guys train and keep their core strong, keep their shoulders strong."

It's yet to been seen if the two young quarterbacks will work with their new mechanics instructor together. Wentz worked out with Dedeaux on Friday alongside receiver prospects Cooper Kupp of Eastern Washington and Goff's former teammate Chad Hansen of Cal.
