.@AZCardinals awarded CB C.J. Goodwin off waivers. He was just cut from the Falcons. To make room on the roster, Cards officially put RB Adrian Peterson on IR.

C.J. Goodwin is a talented young CB. It's surprising that the Falcons waived him. He's 6-3, 195 and fast. Goodwin has made a smooth transition over the past 2 years from WR to CB. He had 3 pass break ups in the Super Bowl. Could be too that at his size the Cardinals could use him to cover TEs. Credit Steve Keim for this acquisition.

Well, Goodwin was cut because he wasn’t very good at CB this year, so he should fit right in with Bethel and Williams as athletic projects. At least he is good at ST.

I say put him at WR... you know the place where he belongs but then where would be the fun

Goodwin had a good Pro Day, being hand-timed at 4.31. The Steelers signed him as a UDFA, but he failed to make the roster after being slowed by a shoulder injury. He got picked up by the Falcons and did a nice job on special teams. He was moved to CB based on his athleticism and secure tackling ability. He’s serviceable as a gunner if they want to rest Baker. The Falcons actually had to play him at CB on the Super Bowl and he was surprisingly decent.

That said he struggled this season with defensive positioning. He’s okay playing man-to-man but it’s a much tougher adjustment playing zone. Stacked receivers likely pose a problem as well.

He is 27, not so young
