'I’m going to make a big impact. I just need one opportunity.' tgood1110 chats with JustinM_NFL about his career-best campaign in 2021, why playing in Iowa's offense helped prepare him for the NFL, and much more. FrontOffice33 | NFLDraft
is one of the most exciting and intriguing running backs in the 2022 NFL Draft. Goodson put an appropriate bow on a terrific three-year collegiate career in 2021 by recording career highs in rushing yards and receiving yards . Goodson now departs the Hawkeyes program as a battle-test ball-carrier that accounted for an astounding 3,116 total yards of offense and 19 touchdowns from scrimmage.
TG: I would credit my ability to be versatile. I knew I could go in there and run the ball from a young age while picking up the tough yards in-between the tackles. I knew I could run routes and catch the ball. I was able to create some mismatches against linebackers during my true freshman season. I did some great things one-v-one in space. That’s where most of my early success came from. It was a perfect start to my career at Iowa.
I don’t mean to take anything away from the previous running backs coach, who I worked with for two seasons. He was a great coach as well but coach Betts played the game and he understands it at the highest level. He definitely helped me progress my knowledge of the game as I became a true student of football under his wing. He made the game slow down for me. I went into the season a little bit smarter. I worked hard on my craft during the offseason.
JM: You posted career highs in the passing game as I said earlier. That's such a big part of today's NFL offenses. Tell me about your skills as a pass-catcher coming out of the backfield. JM: You’re a smart guy. You went to the NFL Scouting Combine and put up some great results. You ran a 4.42 in the 40 and leaped a 36.5-inch vertical and 123-inch broad jump. Your 40 time was the fastest of any Iowa running back in combine history. Do you feel you surprised some people in Indianapolis with your performance?
TG: I’ve been hearing it my entire life as you said. It really doesn’t matter to me anymore. When I first started hearing it, it was more of a motivating factor for me above anything else. It made me go out there and play even better as I prepared to show everyone that I can hang with the best of the best.
