Marquise Goodwin Injury

Said this before, but IMO, he is a kick returner who will eternally frustrate fans with his lack of productivity in the passing game. Small targets get hard to find downfield and if we learned anything from the Roscoe Parrish experiment it was that getting open downfield at SJF in August is A LOT different than getting open at RWS during the regular season. There is no margin for error throwing the ball deep to a tiny target and Goodwin may be a worldclass hurdler but he does not have the balls skills of a Steve Smith. His history at Texas speaks for itself. The guy has to get the ball close to the LOS to make plays......but his body isn't built for it. If it turns out he has fractured his slender wrist the parallels to Roscoe will be getting scary.

 

TY Hilton seems to have found a way to make it work.

 

Goodwin has excellent hands by all accounts other than TBD. Unsurprisingly his vertical at his pro day was higher than any receiver posted at the combine, which will help make up for his size deficiency on deep balls.

 

He is raw after being used in a limited capacity at Texas due to track. A raw WR with obviously a great work ethic, good hands, speed, and is dangerous with the ball in his hands. Not a bad chunk of clay to begin molding.
