Randall Euralentris Godfrey (born April 6, 1973) is a former American football linebacker in the National Football League. Godfrey played college football at the University of Georgia, where he majored in housing and consumer economics. He also played High School Football at Lowndes High School in Valdosta Georgia. He was drafted in the 1996 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys with the 49th overall pick. Since then he has also played for the Tennessee Titans and the Seattle Seahawks.
Godfrey attended Lowndes High School where he was a three-sport athlete (football, basketball and track). As a senior, he finished with 111 tackles, 6 sacks and 2 interceptions, receiving All-American, All-State and All-South honors.
He accepted a scholarship from the University of Georgia, becoming the first true freshman in school history to lead the team in tackles (114) and was also named SEC Freshman of the Year. The next year he repeated as the team leader in tackles (114) and earned All-SEC honors.
As a junior, he registered 102 tackles (second on the team), 2 sacks and 5 passes defensed. In his last year he missed four games with a pulled hamstring, affecting his playing time and finishing with 35 tackles (3 for loss).
Godfrey was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the second round of the 1996 NFL Draft, after dropping because of his diminished production as a college senior. Although he was drafted to play middle linebacker, the level of skill and speed he demonstrated in training camp, allowed the Cowboys to move him into different defensive positions.
