But he said he was “100 percent committed” to trying to qualify for Team USA next summer. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/06/11/marquise-goodwin-wants-to-compete-in-2020-olympics/ Edited June 11, 2019 by Mike in Horseheads 1
YoloinOhio Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 Good for him, it’s his dream. But I think he’s a better football player when he’s not focusing on his Olympic training. I don’t know if the niners will love this news. 9

Chill Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 Glass Goodwin??? Thats a lofty goal for an average athlete. Ill predict he doesn’t make it. Best of luck to him and his endeavors.
Rocky Landing Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 Interesting article on peak ages for track and field athletes. https://travelingtrackster.wordpress.com/2014/09/23/track-field-peak-athletic-age/ Goodwin will be 29 next summer, which puts him at the tail end of average peak age for his events, so it's not enormously unlikely that he could qualify for the team. I hope he makes it.
MAJBobby Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 His dream. However when he actually just focused on football in San Fran he turned himself into a pretty legit threat at WR. I think trying to qualify for Olympics is gonna set him back again. 5
Captain Murica Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 As others have said it’s his dream. But, he’ll have to cut his weight and BF. Which is not ideal for his frame when playing football. 1

Part of that might’ve been having a qb and offensive scheme that worked.

Who would want to trash the guys dream? Loved the pic of him in the snowstorm. This is obviously something important to him, and I wish him all the best. 3 1

Jesus thinks Goodwin didn't try/avoided injury whilst a Bill, so he could pursue his Olympic dreams. Goodwin is a sinner. If you know this because of a call or text to your cell, I will start being nicer to you. I need all the help I can get......

Mr. WEO Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 He hasn't competed in track since 2016 (when he didn't make the team)...and he wants to play a year of football and then qualify of the 2020 Olympics? That's cool but.....zero point zero chance.
