Notre Dame’s versatile, big-play slot threat
John Goodman was a high-efficiency, all-purpose weapon for Notre Dame, finishing his career with 35 catches for 474 yards and 4 receiving touchdowns, plus a rare 3 rushing attempts for 16 yards and a passing score in 2012[3][4]. His biggest differentiator was versatility: he contributed as a receiver, runner, passer, and returner, which made him valuable beyond the box score and a fit for creative offenses that prize matchup flexibility[3][8].
