Detroit Lions sign Zaviar Gooden

Gooden was cut by the Tennessee Titans. He was a third-round pick by Tennessee back in 2013 out of Missouri.

I went back into my notebooks for a scouting report. It turns out I did not write a formal scouting report, but I did find several notes on him. Most are from the Senior Bowl, where I saw him in person.

The abridged version:

  • Really fast in a straight line
  • Gets off the ground quickly and can regroup on the fly
  • Has a complete lack of functional power
  • Doesn’t feel blocks and cannot get off them

The most notable incident came in a pass rush drill.
