3-4 two-gap fronts that rely on powerful interior linemen to control multiple blockers and anchor against the run.
Year 1 starter as a 0/1-tech NT, with a ceiling to be a dominant, Pro Bowl-caliber run-stuffing force.
A wide-9 attacking front where he'd be asked to generate consistent pass rush from a 3-technique or wider alignment.
Goldman projects as a plug-and-play nose tackle, excelling in systems that prioritize stopping the run and occupying blockers upfront.
Selected #39 overall in Round 2 of the 2015 NFL Draft by Chicago Bears out of Florida State.
