With Long Touchdown, Did Goodson Sprint Onto Roster?

GREEN BAY, Wis. – If big plays win football games, do they also win roster spots?

That’s the dilemma at running back as general manager Brian Gutekunst begins to contemplate how he’s going to fill out the depth chart behind Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon.

Patrick Taylor is solid. Tyler Goodson is explosive.

Goodson’s sudden-impact skill-set was evident on his 24-yard touchdown run that put the Packers in front 10-7 during Thursday night’s preseason-ending loss at the Kansas City Chiefs. The play was well blocked, to be sure, with guards Jon Runyan and Jake Hanson sealing their defenders and center Josh Myers making the big downfield block on a linebacker.
