Running Back Rank: #80
Overall: #367
The Panthers added another running back to the mix, taking Goodson in the fourth round of the 2009 draft. He gives the Panthers a little bit of a different look at running back. Goodson is a very good receiver out of the backfield and is even capable of lining up as a receiver, giving the Panthers some added versatility at the position. Goodson has good speed and moves in the open field. He'll also help on kick returns. Goodson isn't a very big or well built back, which could prevent him from being a starter in the NFL. Goodson could serve as the Panthers change of pace back this season, but will be third on the depth chart behind DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart.

| Goodson has a little total yardage potential, but don't expect anything more than 500 yards. His work will be sporadic with two very good backs ahead of him. Goodson might have some value as a No. 4 back or low-end No. 3 in deeper leagues. |
