Eddie Goldman Takes Hard Work To Next Level

Florida State defensive line prospect Eddie Goldman, a Washington, D.C., native, said his physical nature has helped him develop into a top draft prospect.

When Eddie Goldman was a kid, his father quizzed him on past defensive tackles of the NFL. He answered with the names of favorites and underdogs alike.

But there has been one player in particular Goldman has idolized throughout his life — and, more importantly, through his football stardom.

Goldman, a Washington, D.C., native, considers himself a “tough, hard-nosed type guy,” just like Chicago Bears defensive tackle Jay Ratliff.

Ratliff is physical; he likes that.
