Green Bay Packers running back Tyler Goodson has just one goal for the 2023 season: make the 53-man roster.
“That’s the only goal and that’s the only thing on my mind,” he told Larry McCarren of Packers.com on Thursday. “If I don’t make the 53, then it’s unacceptable because I’m not trying to be in a position where I’m on the practice squad again.”
After rushing for 2,551 yards and scoring 19 touchdowns at Iowa, Goodson spent all last year on the Packers practice squad. The team decided to carry only two running backs on their initial 53-man roster, Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon, leaving no room for a rookie undrafted free agent.
