Five events to watch at Rabat Diamond League
Of all the current and former NFL players eyeing the Rio Olympics, Marquise Goodwin has the best shot at making it to Brazil in August.
Goodwin, a Buffalo Bills wide receiver who placed 10th in the 2012 Olympic long jump, returned to track and field in 2015 after nearly three years off.
And on Saturday, he jumped a personal-best 8.45 meters in a small meet in Guadeloupe. That distance would have won the London Olympic title and ranked him second in the world in 2015.
Goodwin is one of the headliners at Sunday’s Diamond League meet in Rabat, Morocco. Sprint superstars Usain Bolt, Justin Gatlin, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Allyson Felix are skipping the meet.
