Dwayne Lewis Goodrich (born May 29, 1978) is a former professional American football cornerback in the National Football League for the Dallas Cowboys. He played college football at the University of Tennessee.
Goodrich came to Tennessee from Harold L. Richards High School in Oak Lawn. He was an All-American at defensive back, while also running track. He was a three-year starter for the Vols, earning a spot as captain during his senior season in 1999. Goodrich became noteworthy after the 1999 Fiesta Bowl. He was assigned to cover Florida State wide receiver Peter Warrick. In the second quarter of that game, Goodrich intercepted a pass and returned it for a touchdown. The play helped Tennessee win the game and the national championship. Goodrich was the defensive MVP of the game. As a senior, he had 34 tackles, 3 interceptions, 6 passes defensed and received All-Southeastern Conference (SEC) honors.
The Dallas Cowboys entered the 2000 NFL Draft without a first-round pick because of the trade that sent two first round choices to the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for Joey Galloway. The team also made cornerback a top draft priority, after considering the imminent departure of Deion Sanders and the injury history of Kevin Smith and Kevin Mathis.
