He is extremely versatile and has an unparalleled work ethic, with the stamina to play special teams as well as the H-back and the tight end positions. Goodson has exhibited a lot of toughness as a football player as seen by playing a variety of positions (playing fullback in some formations) and all the while maintaining his status most valuable receiver.

Watching Goodson make effortless, one-handed catches over the middle has become a thing of beauty to SEMO fans!
