Some football players may be so agile (7)

I believe the answer is:

goalies

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'some football players' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'may be so agile' is the wordplay.
'may be' indicates an anagram.
'so'+'agile'='soagile'
'soagile' anagrammed gives 'GOALIES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for goalies that I've seen before include "They defend the net" , "Footballers" , "defence people" , "Keepers of nets - so agile" .)
