veteran Southern Illinois fullback with proven red-zone value
John Goode is a classic utility fullback who has shown he can contribute in short-yardage and scoring roles, including a 2011 season in which he played all 13 games, started four, tied for the team lead with four touchdown catches, and added two carries for three yards. That profile suggests a reliable, assignment-sound piece rather than a volume stat producer: useful if you want a physical blocker, a sneaky receiving threat out of the backfield, and a player who brings toughness and role acceptance. He fits best as a situational fit in systems that still value the fullback position.
