After failing to make the Olympic team, can Marquise Goodwin make the Bills?

Marquise Goodwin’s dream of winning a gold medal in his part-time job took a major blow on Sunday when he failed to qualify for the Olympics. Now he has a major fight to keep his full-time job.

Goodwin failed to make the U.S. Olympic long jump in Sunday’s trial finals, finishing seventh with a jump of 27 feet, ¾ inches. While the result is disappointing enough, Goodwin says he also strained his hamstring and his body is “banged up.

That’s not good news for the Buffalo Bills or most importantly, Goodwin.
