Nick Aaron Goings (born January 26, 1978) is a former American football running back. He was signed by the Carolina Panthers as an undrafted free agent in 2001. He played college football at Pittsburgh.
Goings attended Dublin Coffman High School for the first three years of high school and graduated from Dublin Scioto High School (Dublin, Ohio) and finished his career with 5,785 rushing yards and 82 touchdowns. Goings led Dublin Scioto to a Division 2 State Championship. After that year the new Dublin Scioto High School was moved up to Division 1.
Goings played college football at the Ohio State University and the University of Pittsburgh. His freshman year, he had 56 yards on 12 carries before suffering a neck stinger that ended his season. His second year, he carried the ball 9 times for 24 yards. Following that year, he transferred to the University of Pittsburgh, and he was forced to sit out due to NCAA rules. His productivity increased with the Panthers, and over the two years he played in Pittsburgh he compiled 765 yards on 185 carries, with 6 touchdowns.
Goings went undrafted, but signed with the Carolina Panthers as a free agent. He was used sparingly, mostly on third down carries to give the starting backs a break. He was also placed on special teams. However, his role began to expand with the change in offense once Jake Delhomme took over as quarterback. He scored his first NFL touchdown against the Tennessee Titans on an eight-yard reception from Delhomme. During the 2004 NFL season, Goings went from fourth on the depth chart to starter, once Stephen Davis, DeShaun Foster, and Rod Smart all went down with injuries. Goings led the team in rushing, and played in all sixteen games. His 121-yard, 3 touchdown performance against the Arizona Cardinals earned him NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors. On Dec 5, he logged 122 yards and 1 touchdown on what remains a franchise-record 36 carries.
