06.01.09 - There may not be many carries for Panthers rookie RB Mike Goodson as he plays behind the team’s strong tandem of DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart, but we hear the team will be creative in how it uses Goodson. Although he will take the occasional handoff as Carolina’s change-of-pace back, sources say the team is considering moving Goodson out to the slot in certain situations. He has elite speed and gives the typically conservative Panthers offense a chance to broaden its options.

02.16.09 - Mike Goodson is an incredible athlete, displaying elite speed, creativity as a runner, and the ability to change direction without losing much speed. He gets to top speed in a hurry, and can turn on an extra gear to leave defenders in the dust. The biggest question surrounding Goodson? Is he coachable, or will the immaturity he displayed at A&M (frigid relationship with coaching staff) follow him to the NFL? - Draft Guys
