A player knows he is in good standing with NFL scouts, coaches and general managers when he does not get asked to run, jump or lift at his own school’s pro day.
That’s the impression B.J. Goodson made on scouts during the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis last month. All the middle linebacker did during Clemson’s Pro Day on Thursday was on-field drills as he showed off his coverage skills. That’s the only real question NFL teams have about the former Tiger, who blew them all away with his versatility, strength and explosion skills during the combine.
He led at linebackers with 30 reps on the bench press and he had among the best times in the 40, the 20-yard shuttle, the 60-yard shuttle and the three-cone drill.
