Former Longhorn Marquise Goodwin has taken strides as both a professional football player and a track-and-field competitor. But Sunday, he came up short in the Olympic trials long-jump finals. Goodwin, a wide receiver and kickoff returner for the Buffalo Bills, finished seventh in the Eugene, Oregon trials. His 27-foot, 3/4-inch jump was 13 1/2 inches behind top finisher Jeffery Henderson, the 2015 Pan Am gold medalists, and 6 3/4 inches behind third-place Will Claye.
