WR?

He primarily played special teams when he was in Atlanta.

Maybe they hope the conversion goes like Sherman although he is what 28 now?

Good signing with potential.

Whata you say we sit all our LBs, keep our front four and go with our best back 7 CBs.

No? Why not? ....Oh.... okay, maybe try it once then? You sure you don't want to try it ONCE? Unhhh..okay.

This guy may be really big but he isn't slow he ran a recorded 4.41 with a 40 inch vert

(I found this article on Fansided from a year or so ago. Grain of salt? It says he's 6'3" and 190 lbs.)

Atlanta Falcons: A Closer Look at C. J. Goodwin-

A Closer Look at C. J. Goodwin one of the cornerbacks pressed into action for the Atlanta Falcons in 2016 following Desmond Trufant's injury.

The Atlanta Falcons find themselves in a position unprecedented in recent team history, as they enter the 2017 campaign with a defensive backfield stacked full of young, talented play-makers. With attention focused on shutdown cornerback Desmond Trufant and hard-hitting Safety Keanu Neal, let's take a closer look at one of the lesser known components of the Brotherhood: C. J. Goodwin.

Goodwin has faced an uphill battle since entering the league in 2014 when the Pittsburgh Steelers signed him as an undrafted free agent. He then joined the Falcons' practice squad in 2015 and made the difficult transition from wide receiver to cornerback. This makes his promotion to the 53 man roster in 2016 all the more impressive. There have been no signs of slowing down for Goodwin as he continues to progress and flash skills which have already caught the attention of head coach Dan Quinn throughout the 2017 Training Camp.

He has the size and speed to play but maybe just not the right team (until now). I have faith that since Shanahan has seen him before he probably already knows what position he'll play best.

If we got a guy who was 6'0" and 185 lbs you'd say you're worried about them getting pushed around

There is no winning
