He has also played for the Oakland Raiders and the New York Jets.

Goodson attended Westfield High School in Houston previously before he attended Klein Collins High School in Spring, Texas, where he played football and ran track. During his junior year, Goodson ran for 1,152 yards on 101 carries, averaging 11.5 yards per carry with 14 TDs, and had 11 receptions for 277 yards and 5 TDs. His senior year, Goodson had 973 yards rushing on 99 carries. He was invited to play in the 2006 U.S. Army All-American Bowl.

During his college recruiting process, Goodson initially committed verbally to play for Oklahoma State in July 2005, but he decommitted in December.
