Dekalen Goodson is a veteran edge with proven Texas pedigree, but public 2026 production is hard to pin down
Goodson brings real edge-defender upside: as a high school recruit in the Houston pipeline, he earned first-team all-district honors at defensive end and drew interest as a long, physical front-seven athlete. The catch is that publicly available 2026 game-by-game production for his Lamar role is not easy to verify right now, so the best read is that he profiles as a depth-to-impact DE whose value comes from size, effort, and disruption more than flashy counting stats. If your team wants a high-motor, developmental pass-rush body, he’s a watchlist name.
