Tyler Goodson declares for NFL draft

Tyler Goodson is the first Iowa underclassmen to forgo years of eligibility to jump in the waters of the NFL draft.

After breaking on to the scene as un uber-talented true freshman in 2019, Goodson had himself the world’s quietest 1,151-yard season as a junior this year. The last time an Iowa running back hit that mark was Akrum Wadley in 2017.

Goodson averaged a healthy 4.5 yards a pop this season, which is somewhat hard to believe in retrospect, despite being down from his 5.33 average a year ago. He also snagged 31 balls for 247 yards and a score this year.
