EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Year 2 is shaping up to be a big one for linebacker B.J. Goodson. He sees the way the New York Giants have navigated this offseason. He notices that last year’s starting middle linebacker, Kelvin Sheppard, remains unsigned.
Goodson has a golden opportunity sitting in front of him, regardless of what the Giants do in the draft. He knows it, and it’s one of the reasons that just weeks after a playoff loss to the Green Bay Packers, the second-year pro was back to work training for what he admits is a big season.
