RUBillsFan Posted November 29, 2022 Posted November 29, 2022 It'll be really interesting to see what happens with Goodwin's playing time when Delon Wright comes back from injury in a few weeks. In my biased opinion, he's played well enough that he should continue getting regular minutes even ahead of Wright, Monte Morris and Will Barton. However, the Wizards may not want to sign Goodwin to a regular contract until they have to (last day of regular season to be playoff eligible & that's assuming the Wizards make the playoffs). Therefore, they may use Wright's return to give Goodwin more off days (or a stint in the G-League) so they don't exceed the 50 games he is able to play on his 2 way contract. He's already at 14 games (out of 21 team games). He's played in 12 of the last 13 with the only one missed due to injury. BilliesBy40 1 Quote

If they send him down to the G-League does he have to clear waivers or something similar giving other teams a shot to get him? Quote

No, he can flip flop back and forth all season while on a 2way contract. Other teams only get a shot if the 2way contract is terminated. Quote

Leave the money aside for a while, he is getting something that is much more important than that. He is getting playing time in real NBA games and doing a great job, out there in full view of the audiences, scouts, and most importantly other teams. That is where the advantage lies for him. Other teams are seeing his value for the Wizards and can check videos of the games to look closely at JG in action. This is the best promotion media he can possibly get within the league. Quote

Goodwins future on the gridiron was at TE. While his stats wouldn’t say it, he was one of the best pure pass catchers in the state of IL. 6’3 190 in high school with his athleticism, route running, and ball skills got him an offer to play Big 10 football at Iowa. Freak athlete, better competitor. It’s crazy it’s happening this quickly, but him being here doesn’t surprise me Quote

That's great, but he was offered to play DB for Iowa, not TE. The Hawkeye TE position requires dominant blocking in addition to speed and hands. It requires bulking up to 235lbs, minimum. Iowa already had TJ Hockenson, Noah Fant and Shaun Beyer as TEs. They thought Goodwin would be a physical, ball hawking defender. Most Iowa defenders were also great offensive players in high school. They like that trait in their recruits. Goodwin fit the mold of the Hawkeyes safeties that have gone on to NFL success. Think Micah Hyde. Quote

Goodwin fit the mold of the Hawkeyes safeties that have gone on to NFL success. Think Micah Hyde. Not quite. Goodwin never played DB in high school. In fact the only defense he ever played in HS was DE and that was only when he was a sophomore. Iowa wanted him to be a TE. Not to say he couldn’t have been a good defensive back as well (he’s a phenomenal athlete), but Iowa brought him in for his pass catching ability at his size. Quote
Old guy Posted December 4, 2022 Posted December 4, 2022 Goodwin chose his path away from football. It is too late now to wish he had gone that way, his future points in a different direction. Quote
