Sounds like he met the distance requirement, but missed out by coming in 4th.

Maybe I'm crazy but I'd rather be a true 4th than 3rd and 1 cm short if missing. I feel like it's a little less crushing to the ego, despite being disappointing still

Marquise Goodwin finishes 4th after Michael Hatfield jumps 8.42m in his final jump, passing Goodwin's 8.37. Had to finish 3rd for Worlds.

Goodwin still jumped a personal best 8.37 after his previous was 8.23 and not jumping competitively since 2012. Wow. Great showing.

It may depend upon who finished ahead of him - something about some of the best LJ'ers may compete in only heptathalon or whatever?

 

8.37m may actually be longer than Goodwin's PB, which was reported as 8.33m at the 2012 olympic trials.

That's pretty impressive. Nice showing, Marquise.

If he placed in the top 4 then he definitely hasn't lost a step (despite what Madden 15 said). A guy of his size has to have elite world class speed to do that. That being said, I'm pretty sure I'd like to find room on my roster for a guy like that. You never know when Percy harvin will have a migraine

Ha. I was thinking the same thing. It's his only chance. Who's got Gooooogly's number? Plus, it won't be Marquise's fault it will be ours!

How can anyone say Goodwin has lost a step when he jumped farther than he ever has before? Seems like he gained a step, if anything.

 

GO BILLS!!!

I agree! . . . if, you know, each step is 4 centimeters. :)

Cut him. If he isn't concentrating on football with the Bills, I have no time for him. I wish him well, but have zero interest in track and field events.

Rex Ryan himself told the players to decompress and get away from football during the six week interim period between Minicamp and Training Camp at SJF.

 

What exactly is your issue with this???
