Yasiel Puig Responds To Rams No. 1 Pick Jared Goff's Old Tweet About Dodgers OF
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — After the Los Angeles Rams selected Cal QB Jared Goff first overall in Thursday's NFL Draft, an old tweet from Goff surfaced of him bad-mouthing Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig.
I really hope Yasiel Puig gets a fastball in his ribs tomorrow

Goff went to High School in Northern California before attending the University of California, and naturally, has rooted for the San Francisco Giants.
Puig saw the tweet not long after the Rams drafted Goff, and responded, offering to even tour the Rams new QB around the city.
@JaredGoff16 Big hug, Welcome to LA, I show you around, be my guest to @Dodgers game #PuigYourFriend #PuigNotLate https://t.co/85B1djlAGM

The Rams held an introductory news conference for Goff on Saturday, during which he was asked about Puig's tweet.
Goff said he would indeed take Puig up on his offer to tour him around the city, and also added, "It was a really cool move for him to tweet me like that, I will catch a game with him this summer."
