Soul's Goosby named AFL Defensive Player of the Week

CHICAGO – Philadelphia Soul jack linebacker Joe Goosby has been named the AFL Defensive Player of the Week.

Goosby (6-foot-1, 245) recorded new career-highs with three tackles for loss and two sacks in  Philadelphia’s 54-43 victory over the Iowa Barnstormers in the 2013 Hall of Fame Game.

The third-year pro’s big plays came when the Soul needed them most, as Goosby halted the Barnstormers behind the line of scrimmage on third and fourth down-and-goal on a critical third quarter drive, which shifted the momentum permanently back to Philadelphia.
