Goodson was selected in the sixth round (197th overall) by the Green Bay Packers in the 2014 NFL Draft,[5] becoming the first Baylor player to be drafted by the team since Rell Tipton in 1977.[6] On May 16, 2014, Goodson signed a contract with the Packers.[7]

On April 8, 2016, Goodson was suspended by the NFL for the first four games of the 2016 season for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances.[8] In Week 11, Goodson was carted off the field with a knee injury and was placed on injured reserve on December 3, 2016.[9][10]

Goodson was placed on the physically unable to perform list to start the 2017 due to the knee injury.[11] He was activated off PUP on December 6, 2017.[12] He then suffered a hamstring injury which kept him out two games before being placed on injured reserve on December 22, 2017, without playing a game in 2017.[13]
