3. Marquis Goodwin

The speedy Olympian could help a beat up Cardinals deep game

Marquis Goodwin played a big part in keeping the Bills offense alive when Sammy Watkins went down with injury. He is explosive when given the space and can pretty much outrun anyone in the NFL. The only difference is that Goodwin is 5-10 and the smallest receiver on this list.

What could he bring to Arizona?

Speed. Goodwin is an Olympian. he is very, very fast. He ran a 4.2 40 yard dash in the NFL combine and hasn’t looked back. In two games this year he exploded past corners for a 84 and 67 yard touchdown.

A pick up of Goodwin would be a smart move if Arizona drafted a big receiver with size and power because they already have two speedy receivers in Brown and Nelson. Goodwin could be a hidden gem, and with the right system (like Bruce Arians deep game) and quarterback (Carson Palmers arm) his numbers would be huge.
