Professional career
Goings signed with the Carolina Panthers as the only undrafted free agent to make the team in 2001. He utilized his versatility as a third down back and core special teams player during his career. In 2003 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 started the last 7 games of the season and led the team in rushing with 821 yards and scored 7 touchdowns. 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. Goings finished the 2004 season with 1,215 all purpose yards.
During the 7 game stint he also led the NFL with five 100-yard rushing games, and tied Davis' team record with four consecutive 100 yard games. Following the 2004 season Goings was selected to Daryl Johnston's "All Lunch Pail Crew". The next season, he moved up to the third slot on the depth chart, and thanks to his impressive 2004 season, he was used much more often in game situations and was voted a special teams Captain in 2007.
On October 24, 2007 Goings was placed on injured reserve by the Carolina Panthers after sustaining the fourth concussion of his career and suffering from the effects of post-concussion syndrome.
