Scouting Report/Player Notes

Not the flashiest of defensive end prospects, but a guy who really knows how to get the job done. He was a durable starter for the Tigers over his career there, starting 28 games and playing in 54. Clemson has become a defensive end factory of sorts in recent years, and while Goodman doesn’t appear to be the kind of speedy defensive end that is going to attract a 1st round selection, he is a solid base end who can stuff the run and play multiple positions for you. He has massive hands at 11.5 inches, and excellent upper body strength. He doesn’t get pushed around very often. Had a dominant bowl game against LSU in 2012. Actually has pretty good agility off the edge for a man of his size, and I think he could be an effective nickel pass rusher from an interior line position.
