New York Giants Draft Clemson ‘Thumper’ B.J. Goodson

Goodson is 6 feet, 1 inch, 242 pounds, and has an arm length of 33 1/4 inches. This is a great pick for the Giants to fill a large hole in the defense. B.J. had 98 combined tackles throughout the 2015 season in college, which led his team. He also had 14 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks, which shows that he has the potential to become an up the middle pass rusher or moved to the inside if necessary.

Goodson’s toughness and consistency resembles older style of play that could bring a new form of physicality to the Giants defensive interior.
