Buffalo Bills wide receiver Marquise Goodwin has been a disappointment since coming into the league as a third-round pick in 2013. He has just 20 receptions in 24 games played, missing a great deal of time due to injury. 

Where he's not disappointing is off the field. Goodwin was a track-and-field star coming out of college, and he's remained just that in recent years. He placed second in the long jump at the Pan Am Games last July and hopes to qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympics. 

On Friday, he took part in the Rod McCravy Invitational and had a great showing. He posted the second-best long jump of 2016, leaping 26 feet, 2.75 inches. He shared the video of it on Twitter.

Goodwin has said that he'll need to discuss the possibility of participating in the Olympics this year with Rex Ryan, given the fact that it'll cut into his training camp schedule. With his athleticism and leaping ability, he should certainly give the Olympics a shot.
