According to his
NFL.com scouting report, Goodwin’s exploits on the track –- both in high school and college –- intrigue NFL scouts as much as his efforts on the field. Goodwin’s lack of bulk might be an issue when taking hits from NFL-sized defenders, but scouts can’t ignore the athleticism that allowed him to win multiple long jump titles in the World Junior Championships during his high school days and NCAA outdoors once he reached UT. He won the long jump title at the U.S. Olympic trials, finishing 10th in the event in London. If he can prove himself as a more consistent route runner, the vertical threat that his pure speed makes him is worth noting. "Now we've got the Mike Wallace complement to (Robert Woods)," NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock said. "He's a vertical threat. Here's an Olympic track athlete who at the Senior Bowl all of a sudden showed up and ran by everybody." Remember: Stevie Johnson is the only established wideout in Buffalo. Woods is clearly a lock to be a contributor, but beyond that, there's opportunity here.
