Game Film Evaluated:

Louisville (2014)

Florida (2014)

Pros: Gives good effort…Holds the LOS well. He can generate leverage and knock the blocker back into the pocket. Shows a good swim move if the center drops his head. Shows strong quick hands. Has a nice initial punch and capable to knock the lineman off balance to get pressure on occasion.

Cons: Shows average burst. Plays with inconsistent arm technique, often the blocker gets their hands into his body. When he plays the nose, he struggles to locate the ball. Does not play 2 gap responsibility well. Kid won’t give up on a play, he will pursue outside of his area. Limited athleticism, cannot change directions quickly. Easily neutralized 1 on 1 vs Florida. He could not get off blocks, displayed average quickness. He struggles to change directions quickly allowing the lineman to recover when he gets initial penetration.

Summary: Eddie Goldman is a quality college football player but he is a limited pro prospect. He is strong and powerful capable run stuffer who could offer the rare pass rush. He gives fine effort and shows interest in working hard on the field using technique to generate pressure. On paper, he looks like a good 3-4 nose tackle but he needs to locate the ball more consistently to be trusted to control 2 gaps. At this point, he is a one-technique in a scheme that favors a space eater to free up the mike backer to make the play is the best place for him. He looks like a 3^rd to 4^th round player.
