The two patrolled Clemson’s defensive backfield together from 2019-2021 before Goodrich left for the NFL.
Goodrich hasn’t seen much action as a pro, appearing in just four games with the Philadelphia Eagles back in 2023 with one of those games being a start.
According to the folks at Pro Football Focus, Goodrich has given up 11 receptions on 11 targets and a pair of touchdowns as a pro.
