Mike Goodson NFL Draft Bio

Michael Darryl Goodson, Jr. (born May 23, 1987) is an American football running back for the New York Jets of the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted by the Carolina Panthers in the fourth round of the 2009 NFL Draft. He has also played for the Oakland Raiders. He played college football at Texas A&M.

Goodson had problems protecting the football early in the season, fumbling twice in the Aggies opener against The Citadel (Military College). As a consequence his carries were limited until the game against the Missouri Tigers where he had 15 carries.

Goodson was named Big 12 Freshman of the Year and earned honorable mention All-Big 12 Honors. He rushed for 847 yards and 4 touchdowns averaging a conference high 6.7 yards per carry and also caught 17 passes for 113 yards. He had a career high 127 yards against Oklahoma and scored a critical 41-yard touchdown against the Texas Longhorns, who had the nation's leading rush defense.

Goodson once again split carries with Jorvorskie Lane. Goodson bulked up for the season, weighing in at 206 lbs (previously 192), but claimed the gain did not affect his speed. Goodson's stated that his goal for the season was 1,300 yards rushing. At the end of the season, however, he rushed for 711 yards on 153 carries. The team finished 7–6, including a loss in the Alamo Bowl.

In the offseason, Goodson gained 20 pounds of muscle. He looked to play a greater role in the 2008 season as former tailback Jorvorskie Lane was converted to fullback by new head coach Mike Sherman. Goodson finished the season with 406 rushing yards in 10 games. He also made 37 receptions for 386 yards.
