JTO Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 To me, there is a difference between being an Olympian and being a football player. Goodwin isn't a football player other than being fast.
KollegeStudnet Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 Doubt he will make the team in 2016. Hope he makes his Olympic goal.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 @AroundTheNFL Bills WR Marquise Goodwin places third in long jump at Millrose Games http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000637498/article/marquise-goodwin-places-third-in-long-jump-at-millrose-games 7.75M. Not a good jump for Flash.
26CornerBlitz Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 7.75M. Not a good jump for Flash. I wonder how much training he was able to do with him getting married just a week ago.
Hardcore Bills Fan Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Let him go, bring back Deonte Thompson or camp flop da'rick rogers lol
Hapless Bills Fan Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 I wonder how much training he was able to do with him getting married just a week ago. Ha! Expending his vital life forces! He needs to consult a Taoist practitioner.
3rdand12 Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 The serious commitment to track means he will miss camp. thats says enough to me that it is either/or. I really like the kid for plenty of reasons and do not understand the negative crap put up here by folks.and he can play football he can run routes and he always worked hard blocking. But i gotta believe if cannot commit to a zillion reps with his newish QB and spend as much time as possible learning what Roman wants from him he will not be retained. 110 percent committed is almost enough these days in the NFL. even I admit it is time to move on Ha! Expending his vital life forces! He needs to consult a Taoist practitioner. balancing the yin/yang eh?
26CornerBlitz Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 @SalSports Bills WR Marquise Goodwin finishes 3rd in long jump at Millrose Games, closing in on Olympic Trials: http://www.wgr550.com/Goodwin-finishes-3rd-at-Millrose-Games-closing-in-/22493315 Goodwin is entering the final year of his rookie contract and is scheduled to make $675,000 this season. He has roughly an $860,000 cap hit to the team for 2016. For his three-year career he’s recorded 20 receptions for 349 yards and three touchdowns.
Saxum Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Goodwin is example of why teams need to balance ability to play vs ability to stay healthy when playing. There is a limited amount of cap space and if players are not able to stay healthy enough to contribute when nicked up then these players are costing a significant amount of money even when they are undrafted free agents and even more when drafted and get the slotted salary. The same thing applies to players who can not stay on roster due to external issues like drug tests failures and trouble with law, I see WHY they drafted him, he has skills but he needs to able to play to produce. He has played 12, 10 and 2 games in three years he is with Bills and was credited with 3 years of service.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 balancing the yin/yang eh? More like "holding it in" TMI?
3rdand12 Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 More like "holding it in" TMI? well that took an interesting turn ! Learn something every day.
DDD Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Great character, great athleticism. The most injury prone player I have ever seen. How about Sean Merriman at the end of his career. He got hurt during warm-ups of his first practice.
vincec Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) How about Sean Merriman at the end of his career. He got hurt during warm-ups of his first practice.That's pretty good, but Goodwin getting hurt while taking a knee on a kickoff return is pretty good too. We'll call it a tie.

26CornerBlitz Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 Marquise Goodwin: Olympic Gold has been my goal since I was a kid (1:36)
T master Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) @mikerodak Bills WR Marquise Goodwin says he will try to qualify for summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. If he makes it, he will discuss with team possibility of missing time in training camp. Wonder if he's even back. I forgot about him. And I like the guy. Great guy for how he does things but injuries have hurt him no pun intended while being a Bill . There is a video on the ESPN home page of Flash discussing his reasons for is Olympic run. I think he should do that but he should be let go to add cap room for the Bills . He is for sure a Bills type player but like Roscoe P not quite big enough i guess for the NFL ! Plus he needs to be totally focused on one or the other ! Percy is the same i wish he could get healthy more than Flash but time will tell ... Edited March 5, 2016 by T master
YoloinOhio Posted March 15, 2016 Author Posted March 15, 2016 Ah so the Pats have one too @adamschefter Patriots' S Nate Ebner taking leave of absence from team today to begin training for US rugby team and summer Olympics. Returns in Aug.

YoloinOhio Posted March 15, 2016 Author Posted March 15, 2016 Now that is abusive and risky.ebner played rugby at OSU. He was a beast. He went to HS here and never played HS football. He walked onto the OSU football team because he's a freak athlete but barely played on ST if at all. He got *drafted* by the Pats. Yes, drafted. good luck lil Nate

I am just comparing the possibility of injury to a contact sport as to anon contact competition such as track and field. Cool story Yolo, i did not know the back story !!
