A biography for Marquise Goodwinhasn’t been written yet.
“It's pretty satisfying to make it through a season, only missing one game year.”
“I'm just blessed to be able to be alive, to be able-bodied and be able to play this game.”
“I'm looking to run the fastest, but I want to prove that I'm more than a speed guy.”
“I hate missing practice and games, not being out here.”
“What I do in long jump and track and field, it definitely correlates with what I do as a receiver. With being fast and being explosive and putting my foot down. It's the same mechanics that I use in football and track.”
“My goal is to stay healthy and win games, that's it.”
“My relationship with my sister is closer than white on rice.”
“I really don't have to disprove anything - I'm in the NFL, so whoever is thinking of me as a track guy is worried about the wrong thing.”
“I don't think anybody in any sport ever sucks. You're an athlete. You're a professional.”
“You never know, God can take my ability away any day, so I just thank God for everything he does for me, and for putting my sister in my life and motivating me.”
“I graduated with a double degree, I speak well, I play two sports at an elite level, I volunteer, I do things the right way - I even got down on my knee to ask my wife to marry me! - and I can't get sponsored? It confuses the hell out of me.”
“I've always wanted to be what my father never was to me.”
“Football is my deal. Track is my fun.”
“Never in my life have I failed a test. I have never been opposed to testing and, in fact, have always been compliant with each and every protocol and policy associated with my competitive career in track and field.”
“People who don't understand will try to label me as one or the other. I'm an athlete and a lot of people just have to come to terms with that. I do well in football, I do well in track. It is what it is.”
“I haven't quite mapped it out yet, but working out and training is my lifestyle.”
“The type of working hours you put in sometimes is overlooked. The diet. The little sacrifices that you take from your family, people don't take that into account.”
“To me, no doctor can determine when it's your time to go. God really knows, and He's the only one who can really give you the day. You just have to keep the faith and live the best you can each day.”
“Like you see in the fairy tales, that's how it planned out in my head. Kids, little white picket fence, the American dream.”
“I have definitely got more than a few pieces of cheetah in my wardrobe.”
