#111 Goodson, RB

Next year's first gets us Goodson and Brown.....

 

wideout perhaps?

 

What the...

 

Why did we take a RB?

 

seriously

unless he's some kind of insane return guy... what a wasted pick.

 

this is the RB/RS I've been talking about all offseason


I'm good with it. A little early, but I've said for months now once Goings was gone. A RB with return skills will be a great cheap third option and special teamer.

 

he won't be a rb for us.

 

size? Stats?

 

6', 205


Combine Results:

Positives: Lean, athletic build, but one that seems better suited to wide receiver in the NFL. Rare speed and agility. Quick to and through the hole. Can make defenders miss in tight spaces and flashes exceptional elusiveness in the open field. Rare balance and the ability to cut at top speed in either direction. Experienced receiver out of the backfield. Runs with functional power, despite less than ideal strength, as he keeps his legs churning and spins out of tackles. A threat to go the distance every time he has the ball in his hands. Lacks experience as a special teams returner, but has the potential to be a standout in this area -- much like former Aggie Dante Hall.



Negatives: Lacks the bulk to be an every-down back. Marginal leg drive for short-yardage situations. Undeniable athleticism, but Goodson's production dropped in each of his three seasons with the Aggies -- and it can't be blamed on just touches as his yards per carry also dropped each year. Legitimate intangible red flags regarding his struggles to coexist with former Texas A&M head coach R.C. Slocum and his staff, as well as current head coach Mike Sherman and his staff, especially considering that Sherman publicly touted Goodson as the player the offense would be centered around when he took the position. Scouts will also question Goodson's toughness after he missed time with sprains in his neck, groin and right knee since last spring.

 

Very intersting. Reminds of the Winslow Oliver pick back in the day.

5-11/205. Great in the open field, explosive, can cut and is slippery. Caught 36 balls last year despite missing 2 games...that's 4 receptions per game.

I see him as a WR and return guy.

I've always liked the idea of taking a RB with good hands and making them a WR...for RAC factor...
